Sameerah Munshi, an advisor on the White House Religious Liberty Commission, has resigned in protest over the war in Iran and the removal of Carrie Prejean Boller from the board.

Boller, the former Miss California USA turned social media influencer, was removed from the commission in February after Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick, who chairs the board, accused her of attempting to "hijack" a hearing on antisemitism.
