| THE LIE You can be “America First” while obsessively attacking Israel, championing “Palestine,” and repeating Hamas talking points. |
| THE TRUTH Fixating on foreign conflicts and echoing the claims of foreign governments instead of your own is not “America First.” |
| BACKGROUND Carrie Prejean Boller and Tucker Carlson present themselves as “America First” conservatives devoted exclusively to American interests. But instead of discussing real issues affecting Americans, they obsessively focus on condemning Israel and supporting “Palestine” — two foreign entities. |
| TRUTH EXPLAINED On Feb. 9, 2025, Boller disrupted a hearing of the U.S. Religious Liberty Commission on antisemitism in America to condemn Israel and defend “Palestine.” She repeatedly steered the discussion toward a supposed “genocide” in Gaza, a foreign conflict unrelated to the topic of the hearing. (X) She appeared at the hearing wearing a Palestinian flag pin rather than an American one. (X) During a March 13, 2026 interview with Carlson, Boller criticized Americans for supporting Israel because it is a foreign country—yet spent the entire episode attacking Israel, Americans who support Israel, and Christians who do not support “Palestine.” (Tucker Carlson) Boller’s social media channels are devoted entirely to attacking Israel, Zionism, and Americans who support them—not real issues affecting everyday Americans. Likewise, much of Tucker’s platform and commentary centers on Israel, Gaza, and the Palestinian cause. (Carrie Prejean Boller), (Tucker Carlson) Both Boller and Tucker rely on claims from foreign governments rather than their own. For example, they frequently repeat Hamas’ claim that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, dismissing statements from President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and other officials who have explicitly said Israel is not committing genocide. (Times of Israel), (Times of Israel), (Tucker Carlson) Boller and Tucker have also parroted Hamas’ claim that Israel killed “70,000 innocent civilians,” even though President Trump has confirmed that most of those casualties were terrorists, not innocent civilians.

| QUOTES “Carrie Prejean Boller has been removed from President Trump’s Religious Liberty Commission. No member of the Commission has the right to hijack a hearing for their own personal and political agenda on any issue. This is clearly, without question, what happened Monday in our hearing on antisemitism in America.” — Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick, Chair of President Trump’s Religious Liberty Commission“Everything has to go back to Israel. Everything, all the time. It always comes down to Israel…if you don’t criticize Israel 24/7 like they do, if you don’t make everything about Israel all the time, then you’re not patriotic. You’re not sufficiently ‘America First.’ If you’re not thinking all the time, every day, every hour, every moment of the day about another country—which is Israel—then you’re not ‘America First.’”— Matt Walsh |
| TAKEAWAY At a hearing about Americans, Boller shifted the focus to Gaza. On a national podcast, she repeated numbers supplied by Hamas. And while criticizing Americans for talking about foreign countries, she appeared wearing the flag of one. For someone presenting herself as “America First,” her activism seems remarkably centered on a foreign conflict, a foreign flag, and the claims of Gaza’s government. |
