Trump’s religious liberty commissioner dismissed over Zionism issue

Carrie Prejean Boller, a former Miss California, was removed from President Trump’s Religious Liberty Commission after a contentious hearing on antisemitism, where she claimed commissioners were pressured to affirm Zionism. Commission Chair Dan Patrick accused her of pursuing a personal agenda during the session, which focused on antisemitism in America. Boller defended her stance, asserting that criticism of Israel should not be equated with antisemitism and emphasized her right to religious freedom. The controversy arose during a hearing at the Museum of the Bible, where she questioned whether opposition to Zionism constituted antisemitism.
