Infighting has erupted among members of Donald Trump’s Religious Liberty Commission over a dispute about antisemitism.
Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, who chairs the commission, announced on X that he had booted Carrie Prejean Boller, a former Miss California USA, from the delegation for defending conspiracy theorist podcaster Candace Owens at a hearing this week.
Owens, whose far-right views have sparked a civil war among MAGA figures, has frequently pushed antisemitic rhetoric on her podcast. During a hearing on Monday, Boller, a Catholic convert, disputed criticisms of Owens while arguing with witnesses, including Seth Dillon, CEO of the conservative satirical site The Babylon Bee, about the definition of antisemitism and whether it should include criticism of Israel.
