What happens when internet flame wars leap off your screen and into the halls of power? This week, a White House religious liberty commission devolved into chaos, thanks to a beauty queen-turned-commissioner, Carrie Prejean Boller, who is a Candace Owens superfan.

Who is Carrie Prejean Boller?

Josh Hammer, host of the Josh Hammer Show says it was a circus! Boller hogged the microphone, grilled Jewish witnesses about Israel and Gaza, and flashed a Palestinian flag pin. She told Seth Dillon from the Babylon Bee to “shut up” about Candace Owens’ history of anti-Semitic remarks, while admitting she’s a daily viewer of Owens’ show.

The whole affair raises big questions: Is online toxicity now shaping national policy? Is the right descending into the same anti-Semitic chaos that’s plagued the left? Hammer, a proud Jew and legal scholar, says the Jews are “the canary in the coal mine", suggesting the rise of antisemitism on the right is a warning sign for Western civilisation.
