Carrie Prejean Boller, former Miss California USA 2009 and a Miss USA 2009 runner-up, is facing calls for her firing Tuesday after a “contentious” meeting of President Donald Trump’s Religious Liberty Commission, which she sits on as a board member.
Prejean has long been an ally to Trump, being tapped by the president to serve on his Campaign Advisory Board in 2020, and selected to serve on the Religious Liberty Commission last year. On Monday, however, the commission held a public hearing in Washington, D.C. on antisemitism that saw Prejean accuse speakers of defining antisemitism too broadly.
While no reporting yet exists that Prejean faces termination, she took to social media Tuesday to push back at potential efforts to force her removal from the commission.
“Can you even imagine this? A Religious Liberty Commission prepared to fire a commissioner for her Catholic faith?” Prejean wrote Tuesday in a social media post on X. “If that happens, it proves their mission was never religious liberty, but a Zionist agenda. I refuse to resign.”
Laura Loomer, a self-described “proud Islamophobe” and close Trump ally, warned Prejean that she had already sealed her fate with her comments during the commission’s public hearing, and championed what she predicted would be her quick removal.
“You’re not going to be given the opportunity to resign,” Loomer wrote in response to Prejean’s social media post. “You’re going to be FIRED. And rightfully so.”
During the public hearing, Prejean had also reportedly defended right-wing influencer Candace Owens against accusations that she was antisemitic. Owens has previously referred to Judaism as a “pedophile-centric religion,” according to The Jerusalem Post. Prejean was also accused of sporting a Palestinian flag pin, prompting other MAGA supporters to criticize the former beauty pageant star.
“The issue is you're pacing around like a crazed lunatic, waiting for a Candace Owens podcast, who has done nothing but terrorize a widow, Erika Kirk,” wrote X user “J,” a self-described “3X Trump voter” with nearly 20,000 followers.
“You lack good judgment and discernment. Someone that should not be representing anything in the administration. Then you have a Palestine flag pin where Hamas took American hostages. Again, lack of good judgment and discernment.”
