Jesse Ventura (who is effectively banned from Fox) demands a retraction for the smear job on the network
- His support for Ron Paul may be a factor in the smear
Former Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura tells the Alex Jones Show that the hoax story about Navy SEAL Chris Kyle punching him in a bar, an incident which never happened, may be part of an establishment backlash against Ventura for supporting presidential candidate Ron Paul.
The controversy began last week when US Navy SEAL Chris Kyle appeared on numerous television shows, primarily to brag about how many Iraqis he had killed as a sniper and to promote his new book.
Kyle claims that he met Ventura in a bar in Coronado in 2006 while Ventura was in town to speak to a new class of SEAL graduates at nearby Naval Amphibious Base Coronado. Also present were family members holding a wake for Michael Mansoor, one of the first SEALs killed in Iraq. Kyle claims Ventura began loudly objecting to the war in Iraq before calling the troops “murderers” and saying “we deserved to lose a few guys”.
Kyle then claims he punched Ventura, knocked him to the floor, and quickly fled the scene reports Infowars.
Ventura Demands Fox retract story
Ventura explained that if the story happened as Kyle described it then, “he’s confessing to the crime of assault.”
“I want to clear his name because he’s confessing to assaulting me, and it didn’t happen,” Ventura told the Alex Jones Show, adding “I can unequivocally tell you I’ve never been punched in Coronado, California.”
Ventura explained that the owner of the bar in question, McP’s Irish Pub & Grill, was a close friend of his and that anyone was free to call him up and confirm that the alleged incident never took place.
“If a former Governor within the SEAL community had been knocked down and hit and assaulted, it would have traveled through the SEAL community like wildfire,” said Ventura, pointing out how “absurd” it was for the incident only to come to light almost six years later.
The way in which the establishment media instantly seized upon the bogus story and gave Kyle all the air time he wanted to spread it illustrates how Ventura has made many enemies through his aggressive stance against the system, particularly in the form of his lawsuit against the TSA.
“This is two times now within about a two week period where the mainstream media has ran with something that was completely untrue,” said Ventura, referring to a previous false claim about how he had been caught tailgating in California, when he hasn’t even visited California for six months.
Ventura speculated that the smear campaign against him was launched because, “I am rattling my sword about the elections, maybe because I support Ron Paul…who they say he’s fringe because he stands for peace, maybe because I support peace and not war because in this country now that makes you a target for people that do support war.”
