Former Miss California Removed from Trump Administration’s Religious Freedom Committee

A former winner of Miss California has been dismissed from the Trump administration’s Committee on Religious Freedom following a hearing on anti-Semitism held at the Museum of the Bible in Washington, D.C.

According to reports, Carrie Prejean Boller was accused of attempting to “hijack” the hearing, leading to her removal.

Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick commented on the decision via social media. He stated that it was his call to remove Boller, emphasizing that no member of the commission should exploit hearings for personal or political agendas. He referenced the recent hearing on anti-Semitism, saying, “This was my decision.” He also expressed gratitude to President Trump for creating the commission, which he believes plays a crucial role in advocating for religious freedom in America.

President Trump established the commission in May, aiming to address religious freedom issues nationwide.

During the contentious hearing, Boller reportedly wore a Palestinian flag pin and participated in heated exchanges with other attendees. She identified herself as Catholic and stated that Catholics “do not accept Zionism.”

In response, Sean Carney, president and CEO of 40 Days for Life, countered that the idea of Catholics opposing Jews is “absurd.” He pointed out that historically, Catholics have always recognized that their faith emerged from Jewish beliefs, arguing that such divisions are a recent development largely fueled by online discussions.

After Boller’s dismissal, a former Trump official expressed relief, asserting that the commission exists to promote the president’s agenda, not to serve as a platform for personal bias against Jews.
