Carrie Prejean Boller, the former Miss California USA, has accused Donald Trump of betraying his most loyal supporters after being dismissed from a prominent religious position in the Trump administration. Prejean Boller was removed from the Justice Department’s Religious Liberty Commission following what was described as her “hijacking” a February 9 hearing on the rise of anti-Semitism, during which she clashed with Jewish witnesses.
In a scathing open letter published Thursday, Prejean Boller criticized Trump for surrounding himself with “heretics” who supported Israel over America and lamented the shift in the President’s foreign policy. She expressed her shock at being removed from the position, reminding Trump of the time he defended her during the 2009 Miss USA controversy when she stated that marriage should be between a man and a woman. At the time, Trump owned the pageant and supported her right to free speech.
“I have not changed one bit since the day you stood beside me in 2009. That is why it is so shocking to now be removed from a Religious Liberty Commission for doing the very same thing you once defended,” Prejean Boller wrote.
Prejean Boller continued to lash out at the President, accusing Trump’s evangelical spiritual adviser, Paula White, of launching a “witch hunt” against her. She also claimed White had attempted to stop her from posting on social media about Israel and Gaza.
In the letter, Prejean Boller expressed deep concern about what she sees as Trump’s retreat from his non-interventionist principles. She criticized the current military engagement in the Middle East, saying, “The MAGA I knew would never allow American troops to die for a foreign government. America’s sons and daughters are being sent to the Middle East to be sacrificed at the altar of heresy and false prophecy.”
The former beauty queen further expressed her disappointment with the President’s current stance on Israel, questioning whether it was still America First. “Today, I struggle to recognize the movement you started. It appears to have been hijacked by a foreign government and religious zealots attempting to fulfill their heretical end times fantasy,” she wrote.
Prejean Boller ended her letter with a plea for Trump’s spiritual well-being, writing, “Your eternal legacy is dependent on you entering the Kingdom of heaven, and I sure hope that one day, I will see you there.”
The letter was met with support from some conservative figures, including former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin and General Mike Flynn, who praised Prejean Boller for her honesty and faith.
Prejean Boller’s departure from the Religious Liberty Commission follows a heated exchange during the February 9 hearing. She questioned whether Israel should be beyond criticism and sparred with Seth Dillon, the CEO of The Babylon Bee, over the issue of anti-Semitism and figures like Candace Owens.
Despite being sacked, Prejean Boller remains outspoken about her beliefs and commitment to her Christian faith.
