WASHINGTON — Carrie Prejean Boller, a member of the White House Religious Freedom Commission appointed by President Donald Trump, faced sharp criticism Tuseday after making controversial statements Monday about Jews and Israel during the panel’s first hearing.

Thank you all for the love and support I’ve received. I will continue to stand against Zionist supremacy in America. I’m a proud Catholic. I, in no way will be forced to embrace Zionism as a fulfillment of biblical prophesy. I am a free American. Not a slave to a foreign nation.

Boller confronted Jewish witnesses who shared experiences of antisemitism following the Hamas attack on October 7, questioning the definition of the term. She also defended right-wing commentator Candace Owens, who has previously made statements described as antisemitic.

Yesterday, you wore the flag of a foreign country to the White House Religious Liberties Meeting, I did not.

Advocacy groups called for her removal, citing her social media posts accusing Israel of “deliberate starvation” and “murdering children” and criticizing Zionist Christians.

Just took a look at Carrie Prejean Boller's instagram accounts, and…sheesh. She's a conspiracy theorist with an Israel obsession. https://t.co/q1XUENzwYN

Meliora Raz, CEO of StopAntisemitism, said Boller’s rhetoric “constitute[s] a red line” and urged Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, the commission’s chairman, to remove her.

I attended today’s Religious Liberty hearing and urge everyone to watch it. Powerful, substantive testimony from @AriBermanYU, @ShabbosK, @SethDillon, @coachbrucepearl, @TheLeoTerrell, and multiple Commission members. It became clear that Commissioner Carrie Prejean Boller… https://t.co/OQfVcgDfiw

Nobody asked you to be a Zionist. They asked you to not use a religious hearing to harass every Jew on the panel as you said Israel doesn’t have a right to exist and showed up wearing a Palestinian flag.

You want to be a victim so badly. What type of Catholic attacks…

I agree with @LauraLoomer .

How did Carrie Prejean Boller get onto President Trump’s Religious Liberty Commission? @CarriePrejean1

I know her.

She says she’s not an antisemite.
Based on my own interactions and her takes – she is not a fan of Jews.

And today?

No one forces Catholics "to embrace Zionism as a fulfillment of biblical prophesy."

But if you want to sit on a WH Religious Liberties Commission you should refrain from attacking Jews at a hearing, defending Antisemites, and supporting the terrorists who want to destroy Israel. https://t.co/Kp1wlwxHsj
