Commission Removes Boller After Owens Defense
Faith Facts
- The Religious Liberty Commission dismissed Carrie Prejean Boller after her outspoken defense of Candace Owens during a hearing on antisemitism.
- Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, who chairs the commission, confirmed the removal, stating it followed events at Monday’s meeting.
- Boller, referencing her Catholic faith, vows to continue standing for her beliefs despite her removal.
Recent developments at the Religious Liberty Commission highlight growing tensions over the defense of Christian voices in public discourse. Carrie Prejean Boller publicly supported Candace Owens, denying accusations of antisemitism against her and Tucker Carlson.
Boller firmly stated, “She’s not an antisemite. She just doesn’t support Zionism, and that really has to stop.”
Seth Dillon of The Babylon Bee countered Boller’s claims, saying that Owens and Carlson have fostered antisemitism and urged more careful review of their content.
Outspoken faith and patriotism remain at the center of Boller’s response, as she continues to connect her stance to her Catholic beliefs and her commitment to religious freedom.
In a statement, Simone Rizkallah of the Coalition of Catholics Against Antisemitism wrote, “The Catholic Church teaches unequivocally that antisemitism is a grave sin… These are not optional opinions. They belong to the Church’s authoritative teaching.”
Candace Owens responded to the controversy, declaring, “When they can’t win the argument, they move to censor the speaker… Every time they move to punish someone’s speech, more Americans and Christians awaken to the real threat to our freedom.”
This situation reminds us to speak truth boldly in the face of cultural and political pressure, defending liberty grounded in faith, and standing resolutely for Biblical values. Stay informed and uphold Christian principles in today’s society.
