唐纳德·特朗普总统领导的宗教自由委员会主席周三表示,他在一场关于反犹主义的争议性公开听证会上,因一名委员与其他成员发生争执而将其罢免。

该委员会主席、得克萨斯州副州长丹·帕特里克在社交平台X上表示,在周一关于美国反犹主义定义的紧张交流后,他决定罢免前加州小姐卡丽·普雷jean·博勒(Carrie Prejean Boller)。

博勒在听证会上为保守派评论员坎迪斯·欧文斯(Candace Owens)辩护。欧文斯曾向数百万网络追随者散布阴谋论并使用反犹言论。

帕特里克称:”卡丽·普雷jean·博勒已被从特朗普总统的宗教自由委员会中移除。委员会任何成员都无权为了个人和政治议程而劫持听证会。这一点在周一关于美国反犹主义的听证会上表现得再清楚不过。这是我的决定。”

博勒对帕特里克的罢免权提出质疑,在X上坚称:”如委员会名称所示,这是特朗普总统的宗教自由委员会,不是你的。你没有任命我加入委员会,也无权将我除名。这是你严重越权的行为,让我认为你是在与劫持听证会的犹太复国主义政治框架相呼应,而非捍卫宗教自由。”

美国有线电视新闻网(CNN)已联系白宫和该委员会,以确认博勒是否已被正式除名。

在听证会上,博勒辩称欧文斯并不反犹。

“我从未从她口中听到任何我认为是反犹的言论,”她说。

据美联社报道,此次听证会邀请了多名证人,包括学生和其他人的亲身经历,他们表示在加沙以色列-哈马斯战争期间,大学未能保护犹太学生。

保守派讽刺网站《巴比伦蜜蜂》(The Babylon Bee)首席执行官塞思·狄龙(Seth Dillon)出席作证,称保守派需要抵制右翼日益增长的反犹主义运动。该网站经常嘲讽进步派人士。

据美联社报道,博勒向狄龙提出质疑,询问批评以色列的人是否应被视为反犹主义者。狄龙回答说不是,但背景很重要。”有些人试图以’仅仅批评以色列’为幌子掩盖他们的反犹主义,”他说。

博勒还反驳了狄龙对欧文斯的批评。

“你应该多看看她的其他言论,”狄龙援引欧文斯的话回应,比如她说她的批评者是”撒旦的会众”(the synagogue of Satan)。

特朗普总统去年创建了该委员会,其使命是”探索美国宗教自由的基础”并”识别当前对国内宗教自由的威胁”。

截至周三深夜,博勒的名字仍出现在白宫网站的委员会成员名单中。

据美联社报道,本周进步宗教团体已就该委员会提起新的联邦诉讼,指控该小组未能代表多元观点和宗教,几乎完全由保守派基督徒组成。

Chair of Trump’s Religious Liberty Commission removes member after heated hearing on antisemitism

The chairman of President Donald Trump’s Religious Liberty Commission said Wednesday that he ousted a member of the commission after she sparred with fellow members during a contentious public hearing on antisemitism.

Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, who chairs the commission, said on X that it was his call to remove Carrie Prejean Boller, a former Miss California USA, after tense exchanges during the hearing Monday over what constitutes antisemitism in the US.

Boller, during the hearing, defended conservative commentator Candace Owens, who has boosted conspiracy theories and embraced antisemitic rhetoric to her millions of online followers.

“Carrie Prejean Boller has been removed from President Trump’s Religious Liberty Commission,” Patrick said. “No member of the Commission has the right to hijack a hearing for their own personal and political agenda on any issue. This is clearly, without question, what happened Monday in our hearing on antisemitism in America. This was my decision.”

Boller challenged Patrick’s authority to oust her, insisting on X, “As the name states, this is President Trump’s Religious Liberty Commission, not yours. You did not appoint me to the Commission, and you lack authority to remove me from it. This is a gross overstepping of your role and leads me to believe you are acting in alignment with a Zionist political framework that hijacked the hearing, rather than in defense of religious liberty.”

CNN has reached out to the White House and the commission to confirm that Boller has been removed from the commission.

During the hearing, Boller argued that Owens is not antisemitic.

“I haven’t heard one thing out of her mouth that I would say is antisemitic,” she said.

The hearing featured multiple witnesses, including first-hand accounts of students and others who said universities failed to protect Jewish students amid pro-Palestinian protests during the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza, the Associated Press reported.

Seth Dillon, CEO of the conservative satirical site The Babylon Bee, which routinely lampoons progressives, was there to testify that conservatives need to push back against a growing antisemitic movement on the right, according to the AP.

Boller challenged him, questioning whether critics of Israel should be considered antisemitic, the AP said. Dillon said no, but that context matters. There are “people who try to conceal their antisemitism under the guise of merely criticizing Israel,” he said.

She also disputed Dillon’s criticisms of Owens.

“You should look up more of her statements,” Dillon said, citing such things as Owens saying her critics were “of the synagogue of Satan.”

President Trump created the commission last year and charged it with “exploring the foundations of religious liberty in America,” and “identifying current threats to domestic religious liberty.”

Late Wednesday night, Boller was still listed as a member of the commission on the White House’s website.

The commission is the subject of a new federal lawsuit this week from progressive religious groups, according to the AP. The suit says the panel fails to represent diverse views and religions and consists almost entirely of conservative Christian members.
