Watch: Anti-LGBTQ+ Speaker Johnson Says his Teenage Son is his 'Accountability Partner' for Online Porn

Virulently anti-LGBTQ+ Speaker of the House Mike Johnson said in a recently unearthed video clip that he and his teenage son keep each other "accountable" for online porn viewing with software that, Johnson said, "scans all the activity on your phone, or your devices, your laptop, what have you..."

Johnson said he and his son "do all of it," Rolling Stone reported.

"During a conversation on the 'War on Technology' at Benton, Louisiana's Cypress Baptist Church – unearthed by X user Receipt Maven last week – the Louisiana representative talked about how he installed 'accountability software' called Covenant Eyes on his devices in order to abstain from internet porn and other unsavory websites," Rolling Stone detailed in its Nov. 5 writeup.

"It sends a report to your accountability partner," Johnson adds in the clip, before explaining that his "accountability partner right now is Jack, my son," who was 17 at the time.

"So he and I get a report about all the things that are on our phones, all of our devices, once a week. If anything objectionable comes up, your accountability partner gets an immediate notice," Johnson went on to say, before adding: "I'm proud to tell ya, my son has got a clean slate."

The account raised concerns around cyber spying for Receipt Maven, who posted the clip to social media, Rolling Stone relayed.

"A US Congressman is allowing a 3rd Party tech company to scan ALL of his electronic devices daily and then uploading reports to his son about what he's watching or not watching....," the post mulled. "I mean, who else is accessing that data?"

Johnson's family made headlines previously with reports that his wife runs a "Bible-based counseling business" that "compares homosexuality to bestiality and incest."

Johnson's longstanding anti-LGBTQ+ record has come to the fore since he took up the Speaker's gavel, including claims that gay people make "bizarre choices" to not be straight and that commitment between same-sex couples is a "dark harbinger of chaos and sexual anarchy" that could destroy America.

Ironically, for someone putatively worried about the state of America, Johnson has perpetuated Donald Trump's lies about the 2020 election and was, as CNN has reported, "among the Republicans chosen to serve on Trump's House legal team during impeachment proceedings."

In an interview with Sean Hannity shortly after becoming Speaker, Johnson doubled down on past comments regarding LGBTQ+ Americans. Similarly, in his Sunday morning interview with Fox News host Shannon Bream he addressed issues of reproductive rights and contraception, sticking close to the script he used before in holding up his Christian faith but also deflecting from critical scrutiny into what his stances would actually mean.

Newsweek noted that when Bream recounted how Johnson had "supported bans that would not only criminalize abortion, but ban IVF treatments and common forms of birth control," and how he had also "voted against access to contraception," Johnson responded, "I'm pro-life. I've said very clearly, I'm a Bible-believing Christian, I believe in the sanctity of every single human life."

Newsweek recalled that Johnson "voted against the Right to Contraception Act, which would protect access to birth control," and that he also "co-sponsored the Defund Planned Parenthood Act of 2023, which would restrict federal funding for Planned Parenthood, its affiliates, or its clinics for one year."

The former bill passed the House; the latter failed.
