Um, this is strange behavior acting as righteousness...WTF. Imagine if you were his son and got pinged that your dad is watching porn. I would be totally grossed the hell out if that happened between me and my dad. I'm grimacing as I type this. Or, imagine being the dad watching porn and knowing your son is actively aware that you are doing that. What the hell would be going through your mind to make that okay?
Or, think about what the son is really learning from this relationship. Sex is bad and people should be monitored for sexual activity. Also, he's learning that controlling others to that level is acceptable and celebrated. This kid might turn out to be a highly abusive partner that thinks it's okay to monitor their partner's phone at all times.
It also tells us that Mike Johnson is probably interested in monitoring people's internet habits, especially when it comes to accessing porn. Personally, that is not what I would like for a congressman.
The whole thing is uncomfortably odd and seems like a major red flag.
