S. government and dismissed the notion that anti-Zionism equates to antisemitism. Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick, the commission's chairman, told Boller her job was to protect the president, not criticize Israel.

This is not what we voted for. It's absolutely America last. It's the same bulls**t we've seen for decades now. I don't think the president is being tongue-in-cheek.

Patrick announced her removal two days later, stating no commission member has the right to hijack a hearing for a personal political agenda. Boller responded by saying Trump officially removed her for exercising her religious liberty. -Israeli airstrikes on Iran starting February 28.

I know that man very well and he repeatedly says he's not going to have it the same way. He repeatedly says, 'Should I run for president again?' That started out as we could take it as a joke but I don't think he's joking.

servicemembers have died in the conflict, and thousands of additional American troops have arrived in the Middle East. White House spokesperson Davis Ingle has defended the war strategy, stating Operation Epic Fury continues to prove it is a resounding success, destroying the Iranian regime's national security threat.

Sameerah Munshi, an adviser to the White House Religious Liberty Commission, resigned in protest at the airstrikes.

She announced her resignation from Congress in late 2025, and the election to fill her House seat is expected to go to a new Trump supporter. The White House hit back at Greene, with a spokesperson stating there is nothing more 'America Last' than quitting on your constituents and the MAGA movement in the middle of your term. Fox News has become a flashpoint in the controversy.

He's lying, he's gone back on what he promised: foreign wars and no more regime changes.

The network aired a segment by host Mark Levin over the weekend where he said there are 'a lot of reasons' for sending troops into Iran. It also published a poll finding 59 percent of Americans disapprove of Trump's performance as commander in chief, while 58 percent opposed the conflict with Iran. Trump lashed out at the poll, saying he hates Fox polls and that Rupert Murdoch has promised to get rid of the pollster.

Trump has offered a vague timeline for ending the war, revealing the conflict was projected to last four to five weeks but could go far longer. ' Marjorie Taylor Greene expressed confusion at this remark, saying she has no idea what that means.

Donald Trump has said repeatedly he doesn't think he's going to heaven. What is in his mind? What is his mental state if he doesn't think he's going to heaven and he's a man in the fourth quarter, towards the end of his life, how does that pan out for the rest of us when we have a president of the United States who is convinced he's not going to heaven. What does that mean his decision making is? He doesn't care about what the American people think and he may put troops on the ground. He claimed this was going to be a few day war to now maybe four weeks or more. What is happening to the man that I supported, that you supported?

Marjorie Taylor Greene, Former congresswoman

We're in another f*****g war and we've got American troops being killed. I think it's time for America to rip the bandaid off.

Marjorie Taylor Greene, Former congresswoman

President Trump officially removes me from the Religious Liberty Commission for exercising my Religious Liberty. The only Catholic woman who opposes Zionism was removed as a prelude to the Iran war.

Carrie Prejean Boller, Former member of Religious Liberty Commission

On behalf of President Donald J. Trump, I am writing to inform you that your position as a member of the Religious Liberty Commission is terminated effective immediately. Thank you for your service.

White House, Official email

Your job on this commission is to protect the president.

Dan Patrick, Texas Lieutenant Governor, commission chairman

I thought my job is to protect religious freedom. I thought that's what he appointed me to do.

Carrie Prejean Boller, Former member of Religious Liberty Commission

I’ve been a loyal supporter of the president for almost 20 years. This goes back to when I was 21 years old and I was Miss California at the Miss USA pageant. And I’ve known him – I consider him a dear friend – and I will tell you right now, I do not recognize our president.

Carrie Prejean Boller, Former Trump supporter

I think that we are an occupied nation. I think that a foreign country has occupied our government. And we are seeing now that this president of the United States of America is being influenced by a foreign government.

Carrie Prejean Boller, Former Trump supporter

And MAGA, let me tell you right now, MAGA is dead. It is deader than dead. And Americans are furious. We do not recognize President Donald J Trump anymore.

Carrie Prejean Boller, Former Trump supporter

I listen to her daily, and I haven’t heard one thing out of her mouth that I would say is antisemitic.

Carrie Prejean Boller, Former member of Religious Liberty Commission

Fox News is now the fake news. Brainwashing boomers to support what we voted against.

Marjorie Taylor Greene, Former congresswoman

I hate Fox polls. Honestly, whoever does your polls are terrible. Rupert Murdoch has promised me for years he's going to get rid of your pollster, but he doesn't do it. I don't get it, but your Fox polls are terrible.

Donald Trump, President

It’s a cruel irony that the American troops soon to be sent into Iran will be Gen Z and millennials (again), by the very President and admin that promised no more foreign wars, to make life affordable for Americans, and a strong American economy producing good American jobs.

Marjorie Taylor Greene, Former congresswoman

There is nothing more 'America Last' than quitting on your constituents and the MAGA movement in the middle of your term.

White House spokesperson, Spokesperson

What’s the gift, besides herpes?

Joy Behar, The View co-host

'Joyless' Behar is an extremely unlikeable, talentless hack with a poorly rated TV show who clearly suffers from a severe case of Trump Derangement Syndrome.

Davis Ingle, White House spokesperson

Operation Epic Fury continues to prove it is a resounding success, which is destroying the rogue Iranian regime’s national security threat to the American people. Iranian retaliatory attacks have declined by 90 percent because the Department of War is destroying Iran’s ballistic missile capabilities.

Davis Ingle, White House spokesperson

Don’t make it sound like I’m against the military. I’m not. All my uncles, my father, they all fought, so don’t make it sound like that. I’m talking about this particular, as he calls it, excursion into Iran. What have they accomplished so far?

Joy Behar, The View co-host

The word intelligence and him in the same sentence should not go together.

Joy Behar, The View co-host

When I feel it in my bones.

Donald Trump, President

I have no idea what that means. The same way I have no understanding of what he means when he says he doesn’t think he’s going to heaven. Those are statements that I find concerning.
