A former Trump White House official speaking to Fox News bluntly applauded the move.
“Carrie Prejean was thrown off the Religious Liberty Commission, and thank God,” the official said. “These commissions exist to advance the President’s agenda, not to serve as a personal Jew-hating platform.”
The clash reportedly began when Prejean Boller raised objections during the hearing and introduced a controversial statement about Zionism.
During the event she said, “I am a Catholic, and Catholics don’t embrace Zionism.”
The remark quickly sparked criticism online and inside the hearing room. Several conservative commentators argued that bringing the issue into a hearing about antisemitism was inappropriate and inflammatory.
Political commentator Bonchie mocked the situation on social media, writing, “The only one who brought up Zionism at the event was… Carrie Prejean Boller.”
He added, “Classic grifter play happening here. Cause a scene of her own making, claim to be the victim, profit. A story as old as time.”
Others were equally critical. Jim Hanson, president of the information warfare firm WorldStrat and editor at the Middle East Forum, slammed Prejean Boller for the symbolism she displayed during the event.
“Whatever you think of the rest of Carrie Prejean Boller’s views, wearing a Palestinian flag to a hearing on religious liberty is disgraceful,” Hanson posted.
Despite the criticism and her removal, Prejean Boller refused to back down.
In a fiery response posted on X, she disputed Patrick’s authority to remove her from the commission and accused him of overstepping his role.
“You did not appoint me to the Commission, and you lack authority to remove me from it,” she wrote. “This is a gross overstepping of your role and leads me to believe you are acting in alignment with a Zionist political framework that hijacked the hearing, rather than in defense of religious liberty.”
But her most dramatic response came in the form of a lengthy open letter addressed directly to President Trump.
In the letter, she expressed shock over the way she was dismissed from the commission and criticized the administration’s handling of the situation.
“I’m shocked that the removal of the only Catholic woman on the Religious Liberty Commission was handled through a brief email from a staffer rather than a direct conversation with the President who appointed me,” she wrote.
Prejean Boller also described her appointment to the commission as one of the most significant moments of her life.
“I will never forget the day I got the call you were appointing me to the Religious Liberty Commission. Standing in the Oval Office the day you signed the executive order establishing this commission was one of the most memorable moments of my life.”
She then defended her conduct at the hearing, arguing that her actions were motivated by deeply held religious convictions.
“I served in this position with great humility and honor. I believed in the mission. I believed in protecting religious freedom for all Americans.”
However, the tone of the letter soon turned sharply critical.
Prejean Boller accused the commission of being influenced by outside political forces and claimed the MAGA movement had lost its way.
“President Trump, I thought MAGA stood for defending Americans who speak their convictions without fear of punishment,” she wrote. “Today, I struggle to recognize the movement you started.”
In one of the most explosive passages, she declared she would not compromise her beliefs even if it meant losing her position.
“My faith in Christ means more to me than any position or title.”
Prejean Boller concluded her message with a direct challenge to the president and a warning about what she sees as the future of the country.
“We believed in you, and you have betrayed us.”
The dramatic fallout has turned what began as a policy dispute into a full-blown political feud, one that is now playing out publicly across social media and conservative media outlets.
For now, the White House Religious Liberty Commission appears to be moving forward without her. But the controversy surrounding her removal and the heated accusations that followed show no signs of fading anytime soon.
