Role at the time: President of Convention of States Action, in a post on his X account

Challenged the characterization

Response to this claim

DuRousseau's complaint alleges that PragerU discriminated against him because of his race and sexual orientation, subjected him to a hostile work environment, retaliated against him and wrongfully terminated him.

“PragerU is lead by one of the most amazing, kind, fair and brilliant leaders in America, Marissa Streit. These allegations seem ridiculous on their face based on what I know of the leadership of PragerU. I stand with Marissa, Dennis Prager, and the entire Prager U family.”

Why we used this label

The case's reference point is the discrimination, hostile treatment, retaliation and wrongful termination that DuRousseau's complaint alleges against PragerU. Meckler disputes the credibility of those allegations, calling them ridiculous on their face based on what he knows of PragerU's leadership, and vouches for Streit. He does not claim knowledge of the specific events or say they did not happen, so the statement challenges the characterization of PragerU rather than denying the facts.
