Carrie Prejean Boller, former Miss California, was removed from the White House Religious Liberty Commission after allegedly attempting to steer a hearing on antisemitism towards her personal agenda, a move that was welcomed by religious leaders and conservatives.
Carrie Prejean Boller, known for her tenure as Miss California, has been removed from her position on the White House Religious Liberty Commission due to accusations of attempting to divert a hearing focused on antisemitism for her personal and political agendas. The chair of the commission, Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, stated that her actions were inappropriate and contrary to the commission's purpose, which is to advance the President’s policy aims without personal bias.
The ousting of Prejean Boller has garnered significant approval from various conservative and religious leaders, who expressed relief that the commission would not be used as a platform for her individual views, particularly sentiments perceived as antisemitic. Former Trump administration officials voiced their support for the decision, reflecting a broader sentiment that the integrity and focus of the commission must be protected.
Prejean Boller, who gained notoriety in 2009 when she was stripped of her Miss California title amid contract violations, has remained a controversial figure. Her removal from the religious council underscores ongoing tensions within the Trump administration around the balance of personal belief and politicization of religious platforms, with implications for the wider discourse on religious liberty and antisemitism in America.
