Most political news stories can be brushed off as partisan slap-fighting. On the other hand, some stories are so vile, they deserve to be condemned in the harshest of terms. 

Enter ABC News, which had a supposed "investigative reporter" write a piece attacking Speaker Mike Johnson and his daughter. Apparently, and you may want to sit down for this stunning revelation, the two once attended a father-daughter dance in which a pledge of abstinence until marriage was made.

The framing is simply astonishing. For example, did you know that a 13-year-old (at the time) deciding to live a life of sexual purity is "controversial?"

The German news segment documented Johnson and his family preparing for and then attending a purity ball, a controversial formal dance event, popular among some conservative Christians, that gained notoriety in the early 2000s. At a typical event, fathers and their teenage daughters dress in formal ball attire for a night that involves dinner and dancing and culminates with the daughter signing a pledge to her father to abstain from dating and to remain sexually abstinent until marriage.

Imagine being such a degenerate that you'd think it's weird and controversial for a young girl to pledge to not be sexually active. Do Will Steakin and his editors believe teenage girls should be sleeping around? Do they believe it's somehow dangerous for them not to? Then why even write that insanely stupid article?

To underscore the rot over at ABC News, one of the author's colleagues chimed in with this.

Only an absolute degenerate would think to attack someone's daughter and their mother for saying that sex before marriage is out of the question. Until about five minutes ago, that was a fairly basic principle held by most Americans, even if it wasn't always lived up to. Even forgetting the religious aspects, which do matter because Johnson and his family are devout Christians, on a practical level, far more negative things come from pre-marital sex than not. 

One of the quickest ways into poverty in the United States is to become pregnant out of wedlock. Never mind the emotional scarring that can occur, especially to young girls who get taken advantage of. There is absolutely nothing wrong with promoting abstinence until marriage. Only degenerate liberals who sexualize children would have a problem with that. 

However much you despise the mainstream press, it's not enough. These people are awful. There is no low that is too low for them. Being a Christian is not controversial. It's not dangerous. It's not weird. Anyone treating it as such, including this clown over at ABC News, should take a long, hard look in the mirror and ask themselves how they became what they've become.
