"In that meeting, Prejean Boller noted her opposition to the definitions of antisemitism used, asserting that Christians could be labeled antisemites for quoting the Bible—an argument that treads dangerously close to saying that Scripture condones anti-Jew hate. Worse, she insisted, repeatedly, that Candace Owens has never said anything antisemitic."
"Afterward, Sen. Ted Cruz called her an "Israel-hating crazed antisemite," while Laura Loomer deemed her a "stupid bitch." Meanwhile, figures as unusual as Sarah Palin and Michael Flynn came to her defense, and the Council on American-Islamic Relations praised her for speaking the truth."
Carrie Prejean Boller, a former beauty queen and Trump supporter, gained sudden prominence after clips surfaced of her comments at a White House Religious Liberty Commission meeting. During the meeting, she opposed certain antisemitism definitions, arguing Christians could be labeled antisemites for quoting Scripture, and repeatedly insisted Candace Owens never made antisemitic statements despite Owens' documented rants about powerful Jews. Following these remarks, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick removed her from the commission. The incident sparked sharp divisions within conservative circles, with Ted Cruz calling her an "Israel-hating crazed antisemite" while figures like Sarah Palin and Michael Flynn defended her. Tucker Carlson subsequently interviewed her on his podcast, elevating her profile within MAGA-aligned political discourse.
