Carrie Prejean Boller, a former Trump administration appointee, proclaimed on Monday that the MAGA movement is “dead,” accusing the president of following Israel’s lead when it comes to foreign policy toward Iran. Boller told host Piers Morgan that she no longer “recognize[s] our president,” whom she called a “dear friend.”

“I think that a foreign country has occupied our government, and we are seeing now that this president of the United State of America is being influenced by a foreign government,” she said on “Piers Morgan Uncensored.” “And MAGA, let me tell you right now, MAGA is dead. It is deader than dead, and Americans are furious. We don’t recognize President Donald J. Trump anymore,” Boller added.

Boller was ousted from the White House Religious Liberty Commission after being accused of trying to “hijack” a hearing on antisemitism last month. She was appointed to the commission by President Trump in May of 2025.

Debate over the meaning of Trump’s “America First” policy has deepened since the U.S. and Israel launched joint military strikes against Iran on Feb. 28, with some conservatives saying military intervention abroad departs from what they view as the movement’s core principles.
