The former Minnesota guv - who won a legal dustup with Kyle's estate last year because Kyle claimed he'd once decked Ventura - lashed out at the sharpshooter, calling him a liar and saying the box office smash was a piece of fiction.

Maybe Ventura can explore this controversy in his “Conspiracy Theory” TV series. I saw one episode. Jesse and his team investigated the “Humanzee”—a half chimp half man hybrid being bred by the Pentagon as the “super soldier” of the future.

He has become like Alex Jones and has to do this for the money, I heard his radio show before he became Governor and he was a fairly common-sense type, ever since he’s left being governor, it’s his job to be a truther and other hogwash. He’s just doing this to be in the limelight.

Mr. Ventura’s reputation is indeed being damaged, but not by anything anyone else has said. He’s doing enough without any help. I didn’t think anything of him one way or another really, until this.

You’re too kind. Suggesting that he is crazy as a result of head blows sounds like an excuse to me. To get into Special Forces one has to a bit crazy to begin with - that’s what makes them special. No excuse for abusing a woman and children that had nothing to do with whatever personal problem he had with a fellow Seal.

He wasn’t a SEAL. I wish everybody would stop referring to that POS as a SEAL.

Everytime this wrestler runs his mouth about Kyle he reaches up from the grave and bitch slaps Ventura again. It has become comical how these liberals have reacted. The Body could have done honorable thing and walked away but he keeps up the charade.

He could be as crazy as a loon, but it would seem that your statement is at odds.

My heart bleeds purple Kool-Aid for Ventura...

Funny how he happens to be a liar himself...And how some of the claims he makes are false...But noooooooo, that doesn’t come out very much...

I wonder if the cartels down there where he is holed up will be more interested in him when he pockets that 1.8 mil???
