The name “Carrie Prejean Boller” may not be familiar to most, however her journey from being a conservative activist to Trump appointee to “You’re fired!” is larger than just Ms. Carrie.
Let’s start with Boller, herself.
In the wayback years, Carrie Prejean was a former Miss California who was stripped of her crown because she was critical of gay marriage. This is California, after all. Prejean claimed she was persecuted because of her faith, and subsequently became a darling of the Right. She has spent the past decade or so marketing that attention into books, speaking engagements, and other media appearances. Prejean Boller was hand-picked by Trump for this spot on the religious liberty commission.
One might think that the responsibility of serving on the commission on behalf of the President would make for a sober decision to act according to the mission and not for one’s own political or personal aggrandizement. Boller thought otherwise.
During the commission’s fifth hearing on Monday, Carrie Prejean Boller — a recent convert to Catholicism who was stripped of her Miss California USA Crown in 2009 after criticizing gay “marriage” — repeatedly asked whether anti-Zionism is necessarily anti-Semitic; stated that “Catholics don’t embrace Zionism”; asked a panelist whether he would “condemn what Israel has done in Gaza”; and questioned whether the modern state of Israel is one and the same as the biblical Israel.
Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, who chairs the commission, desperately attempted to manage flaring tempers on the stage, at one point recommending Boller have a coffee with one of her interlocutors.
Dan Patrick, being ambushed by Groyper-adjacent Carrie with some of the usual Anti-Zionist anti-Semite boilerplate acted decisively:
Carrie Prejean Boller has been removed from President Trump’s Religious Liberty Commission. No member of the Commission has the right to hijack a hearing for their own personal and political agenda on any issue. This is clearly, without question, what happened Monday in our…

Continued text: This was my decision.
The Commission has done outstanding work through five hearings. Two more are scheduled. The testimony has been both illuminating and heartbreaking. Under the Biden Administration, Americans of all faiths had their religious liberty not only stolen from them but were often punished for standing up for their faith, in education, the military, the private sector, and even the ministry.
This spring, the Commission will deliver one of the most important reports in American history directly to the President.
The President respects all faiths. He believes that all Americans have a right to receive the great inheritance given to them by our founding fathers in the First Amendment.
I am grateful to President Trump for having the vision and boldness to create this Commission. Fighting for the Word of God and religious freedom is what this nation was founded upon. Leading this fight will be one of his greatest legacies.
Dan Patrick
Lt. Governor of Texas
Chair of the President Trump’s Religious Liberty Commission
Carrie reacted like one would expect of a female who sings in one note of “Me, me, me”
I will never bend the knee to the state of Israel. Ever.
I am more determined than ever to speak plainly about political Zionism and the lies we’ve been sold to justify endless war, dead children, and blank checks. My conversion to the fullness of the Catholic faith exposed what…

Continued Text: Catholic faith exposed what I was taught in American evangelicalism, a version of Christianity that fused Jesus with a political agenda and called it “God’s prophecy being fulfilled.” It isn’t.
No nation speaks for God. No ideology gets a free pass to kill innocent human life. The Church is clear that every human life bears the image of God, including Palestinian life. Pretending otherwise is not “complicated.” It’s sin.
The Catholic Church teaches that the Church, not a modern nation-state, is the New Israel. As Vatican II states:
“The Church is the new People of God… the new Israel.” (Lumen Gentium, 9)
Christians have been manipulated into believing that God blesses bombing, starvation, and mass killing. That is the opposite of Christ, who came to stand with the suffering and confront power. I reject that lie completely.
I am not owned by money, donors, or access. I belong to Christ alone who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
I would rather die than bend the knee to Israel.
Thank you for the shoutout tonight, @RealCandaceO.
Christ is King.
Carrie not only takes a swipe at Jews but Evangelicals, too. Carrie may feel her “new” religion gives her a mantle of righteousness to deflect from her own political agenda (the shout-out to the odious Candace Owens is obvious) but other Catholics would beg to differ.
Carrie’s feeble attempts to separate Zionism from Jews is just another exercise in gaslighting that has a long history among anti-Semites. Natan Sharansky wrote on it 23 years ago, Dennis Prager has addressed it over the last 30-odd years, and certainly the rise of naked anti-Semitism on American college campuses since the Oct 7th slaughter – with chants of “death to Jews” and “From River to Sea …” easily demonstrates that claims of “I don’t hate Jews, just Israel” is an outright lie.
And Carrie’s attack on Evangelicals is more in line with excusing people like Don Lemon than it is with dealing with ensuring the First Amendment rights of free exercise of religion for both Jews and Christians.
However, larger than just fake-Christian Carrie herself, is the act of the commission that, when confronted with Boller’s unconscionable behavior, they booted her off. Democrats keep their anti-Semites within the fold. Conservatives take the Jewhating trash out.
