Dan Patrick Says He Removed Carrie Prejean Boller From Trump Religious Liberty Panel After Antisemitism Hearing

Boller rejects his authority to fire her, leaving her status in dispute.

Overview

  • Patrick announced Boller's removal, saying she "hijacked" the hearing on antisemitism for a personal agenda.
  • Boller countered that only President Trump can dismiss her and said she will continue serving unless told otherwise by the president.
  • At the hearing, Boller pressed witnesses on whether anti‑Zionism equals antisemitism and defended Candace Owens, prompting clashes with panelists including Babylon Bee CEO Seth Dillon.
  • Her standing remained unclear, with official listings still showing her as a member even as some outlets reported the White House approved the ouster, citing anonymous sources.
  • The commission also faces a new federal lawsuit from progressive religious groups alleging it lacks genuine religious diversity and is dominated by conservative Christians.
