Carrie Prejean Boller was terminated from the commission after using a hearing to defend Candace Owens and claim her Catholic faith prevented her from supporting the Jewish state
The Department of Justice’s Religious Liberty Commission convened for a productive hearing on Monday without dramatic and distracting interjections from Carrie Prejean Boller, the former beauty queen and sex tape star who was terminated from the body after using a hearing last month to bash Israel.
The hearing, held in an auditorium at Washington, D.C.’s Museum of the Bible, included discussion of vaccine mandates, gender reassignment surgery, and abortion, among other subjects. As participants heard testimony from witnesses who spoke about having faced government persecution for exercising their faith, Prejean Boller spent the duration of the meeting posting furiously on X.
“Catholics aren’t allowed on this commission who dare to say there is a genocide in Gaza,” she wrote. “They only want puppets who bend the knee to Israel and believe in a false heretical theology in order to serve on this commission. @DanPatrick should be removed from office never to return again.”
She also reposted a video on X showing a former intelligence officer being escorted out of a congressional hearing for interrupting with shouts about “Israel burn[ing] children alive.”
“Anyone still serving on this commission is not serving to protect religious freedom, but for personal gain and ego,” she added in a 2 a.m. missive the day of the hearing.
Prejean Boller’s posts and the hearing came just days after she posted an email from a White House staffer informing her of her dismissal from the commission “on behalf of President Donald J. Trump.” Prejean Boller also posted a letter to Trump accusing Israel of committing “genocide” and saying the MAGA movement “appears to have been hijacked by a foreign government and religious zealots attempting to fulfill their heretical end times fantasy.”
The termination notice follows the Washington Free Beacon‘s reporting from last month that the White House signed off on Prejean Boller’s dismissal in the immediate aftermath of her decision to derail the commission’s last meeting by ranting about Israel, defending Candace Owens, and arguing that her Catholic faith prevents her from supporting the Jewish state.
“No member of the Commission has the right to hijack a hearing for their own personal and political agenda on any issue,” Texas lieutenant governor Dan Patrick (R.), the commission’s chairman, said in an X post after the imbroglio, though Prejean Boller disputed Patrick’s authority to do so.
Commentators watching online at the time noted that Prejean Boller—who became a Catholic in 2025—wore a Palestinian flag pin as she defended Owens, a noted conspiracy theorist who has accused Jewish critics of belonging to the “Synagogue of Satan” and falsely suggested Israel was behind the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
After the hearing, Prejean Boller did her best to milk the publicity for clicks and engagement—racking up around 150,000 followers on X.
“Be a good little Goyim and give me a follow👏🏽❤️,” she wrote in a February 10 post. In another post, she added that she would “rather die” than “bend the knee to the state of Israel.” Prejean Boller has also reposted Owens’s statement that “Zionists are naturally hostile to Catholics because we refuse to bend the knee to revisionist history and support the mass slaughter and rape of innocent children for occult Baal worshipers.”
A former Miss California, Prejean Boller lost her crown in 2009 after pageant officials accused her of breach of contract over taking illicit photos. She also filmed an “extremely graphic” sex tape that formed part of a lawsuit, leading her to pay the pageant competition a settlement.
“Christians aren’t perfect,” she later told The View.
Also missing Monday was Sameerah Munshi, a radical anti-Israel member of the commission who said in a March 12 post on Substack that she was resigning from the body in support of Prejean Boller.
