Jesse Ventura Response What He’s Going to Do With the $1.8 Million Settlement in Chris Kyle Lawsuit

Jesse Ventura, on Tuesday, was awarded a $1.8 million settlement in a defamation lawsuit he filed against slain Navy SEAL and “American Sniper” author Chris Kyle. The former Minnesota governor has alleged that Kyle intentionally lied when he claimed that he punched him in a bar after he said the Navy SEALs deserved to “lose a few.”

Ventura was asked Wednesday what he plans to do with the nearly $2 million that will come from the Kyle estate on CBS’ “This Morning,” with one of the anchors mentioning that it will be taken from Kyle’s widow, Taya, and two children.

“Pay my lawyers,” Ventura said, never revealing if his attorney fees really had accumulated into the millions. “Like I said, I didn’t have an insurance company paying the freight for me, I had to pay my own.”

"What’s funny is the reason he sued is because he was worried about his reputation."

That's the irony that grabbed me from the start. Its about as valid as Snoop Doggie claiming someone is ruining his chance to be president.

Another strange point in the case is that the Kyle lawyer agreed to & accepted an 8-2 jury verdict instead of a hung jury when the jury told the judge they were hopelessly hung.

Chris Krok was hitting this hard yesterday on his show.
He interviewed Chris Kyle many times.

I hope he can keep $10 to get that idiotic fringe or hair hanging off the back of his bald head trimmed....he looks like a moron

The hair has nothing to with him looking like a moron, it's just a fringe benefit.

Maybe if Jesse would shut his big mouth and stop bad mouthing the SEAL’s he wouldn’t have to feel so worried. Or if he had stopped his lawsuit agains’t Kyle’s widow maybe he could catch a break.

There would have been another trial if they were declared to be hung. I don’t think they would have wanted to go through another trial. This one was plenty expensive.

“I can’t go to a SEAL reunion anymore. That was the one place where I always felt safe. “

Well, maybe if you would stop being such an annoying jerk and badmouthing your own country, you might feel welcome more places, Jesse.

“I can’t go to a SEAL reunion anymore”

He never could. Jesse the fraud was never a SEAL. Never, ever, never. He was a UDT coward that could have volunteered to be a SEAL in Vietnam. They would have taken any and all volunteers. Instead, be chickened out and stayed UDT far away from Vietnam.

Jesse is a coward whose only fight has been against a Widow of a real SEAL.
