Ora.TV host Jesse Ventura ripped Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) for signing an extreme anti-abortion bill into law last year, sarcastically saying it did not go far enough.
“If he believes that if a doctor performs this it’s murder, then charge the doctor with murder. And it’s premeditated so it would be first-degree murder, wouldn’t it?” he said. “These guys, if they truly want to stand up for it, then they gotta go all the way with it.”
The bill bans the procedure after the 20-week mark of any pregnancy, and does not contain exceptions for rape and incest victims.
“The thing that bugs me about Scott Walker and all Republicans of this ilk is that they seem to care more about the unborn than the people that are already here,” Ventura said, adding, “Gee, Scott, what do you think their chances for success will be? Slim and none — and slim just probably left the building with you.”
Ventura also noted Walker’s opposition to a bill that would end wage discrimination in his state, blaming it on the governor’s evangelical background depicting women as “subservient.” According to their faith, Ventura said, “women come from [Adam’s] rib, so why would they be thought of as equal in the workplace?”
“They bring many archaic thoughts that discriminate against not only women, but people of color. There’s a great deal of discrimination in religion,” he added. “Religious people all have it. They won’t admit it, but they do have it, because the scriptures themselves do it.”
Watch Ventura’s commentary, as posted online, below.
Amazing to think Minnesota actually elected that freak as its governor.
Oh, wait... it’s not really amazing at all...
: )
Another reason to like Scott Walker: Jesse Ventura hates him.
Jesse Ventura also hates Chris Kyle, the man portrayed in the film “American Sniper”.
Jesse is wrong. Chris and Scott are right.
Last I heard; this twit was living in Mexico. With his history; I can’t see why his opinion makes the news.
Must be a slow news day...
Jesse Ventura ......from the same electorate who now gives you Sen. Al Franken.
He has a brain? That's news to me.
Jesse could arrive on a City coming down from the sky, and I would still think he is a d-bag.
Yes, indeed, anyone would walk a league to find the social wisdom of Jesse Ventura aka Jim Janos.
Why should we care what Ventura thinks? Waste if time.
Gotta love those who twist what they are ignorant about in order to "score points"...
Go away Jesse, please!
good points for Walker. I was solid behind Walker till the Brad Daysring issue came up.
I see you’re hitting the Walker threads with your Dayspring lie.
Is your Cruz-Trump advocacy underpinned by your lack of integrity?
This guy and Al Franken? REALLY, Minnesota???
Aug 2015 - Jesse Ventura: “If Donald Trump were to ask me to be his running mate, I would give it very serious consideration because anything to break up the status quo of this country,” Ventura said.
Aug 2015 - Mr. Ventura said he would “absolutely” consider it if Mr. Sanders asked him to run with him. “Either one of ‘em,” he said...
Proposing Ventura as his running mate is the one thing that COULD derail Trump IMHO.
I’ve tried making the same point by mocking the 20 week thing and everyone pretending to be pro-life cheering about it. But Jim Robinson asked me to not push a pro-choice agenda...LOL! it was exactly the opposite. Anyway to eliminate confusion I stopped.
“If you knock me down in a bar I won’t fight back. I’ll just wait til you die and then sue your widow.”
Jesse Ventura. :-)
Im for Walker...geeeeeeeez. I find it so hard to understand some here....cannot follow their logic.
