Carrie Prejean Boller, the former Miss California who stood beside Donald Trump at a New York press conference in 2009, has publicly broken with him in an open letter, telling the president she has supported him for two decades but that she 'now, I don't even recognise you.'
The 38-year-old published her letter on Thursday after Trump's office formally confirmed her dismissal from the Justice Department's Religious Liberty Commission, a role she had held since being appointed last year. The communication came from Mary Sprowls, a representative of the Presidential Personnel Office, who wrote: '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.' Prejean Boller said she received no phone call from Trump himself—a slight she did not let pass unremarked.
