A conservative activist was removed Wednesday from President Donald Trump’s Religious Liberty Commission, Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, who serves as the commission’s chair, announced on X.
The move came after a contentious commission meeting that Carrie Prejean Boller, a former Miss California and Catholic activist, was accused of hijacking to push pro-Palestine views and raise questions about the group’s definition of antisemitism.
“No member of the Commission has the right to hijack a hearing for their own personal and political agenda on any issue,” Patrick wrote. “This is clearly, without question, what happened Monday in our hearing on antisemitism in America.”
