A longtime supporter of Donald Trump has not held back when it comes to voicing her criticisms surrounding the US-Iran conflict.
It wouldn't be the first time President Trump has found opponents to his plans in the MAGA movement, especially regarding the US and Israel's joint strikes on Iran (February 28).
Tucker Carlson, who had previously shown support for Trump, branded the attack 'disgusting' and 'evil', while former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene urged him to let the Iranian people 'liberate themselves'.
And now, media personality and former model Carrie Prejean Boller has joined the line-up, having expressed her disappointment in the administration to Piers Morgan in an episode of Piers Morgan Uncensored, even going so far as to say she doesn't 'recognize our President'.

Boller says she has been a 'loyal supporter of the President for almost 20 years', and has taken part in numerous beauty pageants, including Miss USA 2009, where she represented California.
Her answer about same-sex marriage at the Miss USA pageant caused a lot of controversy, as she responded: "In my country, in my family, I think that I believe that a marriage should be between a man and a woman.
"No offense to anybody there, but that's how I was raised and that's how I think it should be, between a man and a woman."
Since then, she has taken on a more political role, serving as an official member of Trump's Campaign Advisory Board in 2020 and in his Religious Liberty Commission until her recent ousting.
Boller said she considers Trump to be a 'dear friend', adding: "And I will tell you right now, I do not recognize our president."
She said that she 'talks to MAGA people all day long' and the 'average American' is against the conflict.
She then went on to say that she thinks 'we are an occupied nation' in a seeming reference to Israel, adding: "I think that a foreign country has occupied our government.
"And we are seeing now that this president of the United States of America is being influenced by a foreign government.
“And MAGA, let me tell you right now, MAGA is dead. It is deader than dead. And Americans are furious. We do not recognize President Donald J Trump anymore.”
In February, Boller was removed from a Religious Liberty Commission hearing after she defended Candace Owens against antisemitism allegations.
Owens has previously said that she doesn't hate Jewish people; however, she has previously shared conspiracy theories on Jewish people allegedly replacing Christians, and Jewish people 'controlling the media'.
"I listen to her daily, and I haven’t heard one thing out of her mouth that I would say is antisemitic," she said, before spending several minutes in a heated discussion with Seth Dillon on his definition of antisemitism.
The chairman of the commission, Lt. Gov. of Texas Dan Patrick, later said he'd removed Boller for hijacking 'a hearing for their own personal and political agenda'.
However, Boller disputed her removal, saying that only the President had the power to do so, adding: "You are speaking without authority, and it is clear your actions reflect a Zionist political agenda, not the President’s, not the U.S. Constitution’s, and not the purpose of this Commission."
On March 12, she posted an open letter to Trump on X after receiving an email from the White House 'informing me that my position on the Religious Liberty Commission was terminated'.
"I thought MAGA stood for defending Americans who speak their convictions without fear of punishment," she wrote. "I thought MAGA was putting America first, not Israel. Today I struggle to recognize the movement you started."
