Religious Liberty Commission Ousts Member Amid Turmoil
Liberty Check
Disagreements over the direction of a hearing on antisemitism have led to the removal of Carrie Prejean Boller from the Religious Liberty Commission, under the leadership of Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick and former HUD Secretary Ben Carson.
Boller attempted to shift the hearing toward her own views on Israel and antisemitism, leading Patrick to dismiss her for what he described as self-serving politics.
- Patrick declared no member may use the commission for personal agendas.
- The commission continues to address religious persecution and plans to release a report in the spring.
- Boller disputed her removal, asserting her appointment was a presidential decision and vowing to defend religious freedom.
Constitutional conservatives know that only limited government and respect for the First Amendment preserve true religious liberty. Stand ready to defend your rights whenever unelected bureaucrats or outside agendas threaten constitutional governance.
Our freedoms depend on staying vigilant.
