Mark Meckler is a
Christian nationalist political activist and
right-wing commentator who is the co-founder and president of the
Convention of States Foundation, a conservative organization that seeks to
get state legislatures to call for an Article V convention to propose constitutional amendments that will dramatically limit the power of the federal government.
In his capacity as president of COS, Meckler hosts a livestream program on Sunday nights called "The Battle Cry" in which he shares his views on contemporary political issues. On the most
recent episode of his program, Meckler praised President Donald Trump for calling Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz "seriously retarded" in a recent
social media post.
"[Walz is] really upset right now because people are calling him, because of President Trump, they're calling him a retard," Meckler said. "So let's talk about this word retard because this has now been made very controversial. There are so many words in the English language that have been driven out of use because we've been told they're politically incorrect. Well, that's just cultural Marxism."
