Ventura, who won a $1.8 million defamation suit against Kyle's estate last year, said the box office smash was 'as authentic as Dirty Harry'

Jesse Ventura is the latest public figure taking potshots at slain Navy SEAL Chris Kyle and "American Sniper."

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.

Ventura was apro wrestler and politician before he started his latest fake career as a liar on a show about lies.

And he got awarded because a real man claimed to have punched him once. Ventura is a whiny sissy. He’s come a long way from being a seal. Maybe he had some Ptsd too.

After Chris Kyle died Jackass Ventura decided to continue the law suit against his estate, essentially draining future prospects for the Kyle family’s widow and children. He’s worst than a scumbag! One day he will encounter the wrath of justice.

I don’t believe Kyle lied about the ventura incident; ventura is a delusional out of control, tinfoil hat mouth, whose work continues in the fantasy world he’s almost always occupied. His “reporting” on government conspiracies is as genuine as his professional wrestling matches were. Until he corrects all the news outlets that describe him as a “former Navy SEAL,’ he’ll continue to be a self-serving liar. He was on the Underwater Demolition Teams, a decidedly different group than SEALs; just ask any SEAL.

Ventura is obviously not a product of fiction but he is indeed unbelievable. He has proven to be a fruit cake and an opportunist. I think he fell on his head too many times when he was acting as a professional wrestler. Put no credability into anything he has to say.

One thing is for sure. His defamation suit and as a farce. Nobody makes JV look like more of an ass than JV himself. Total loser and clown.

Uh, Jesse my man....I just saw the movie...the part about you WAS NOT IN THERE....so how the FK do you know the rest isn’t true? You WERE NOT THERE.

And if it wasn’t true, why was the highway crammed with thousands and thousands of vets when the funeral motorcade went by???

He was known as Jesse "The Body" Ventura, because Jesse "The Brain" was obviously too ridiculous even for the WWE.
