Ventura: Navy SEAL âPunchâ Hoax May be Retribution For Supporting Ron Paul
Former Governor demands retraction from Fox News
Monday, January 9, 2012
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 âmurderersâ and saying âwe deserved to lose a few guysâ.
Kyle then claims he punched Ventura, knocked him to the floor, and quickly fled the scene.
Ventura explained that if the story happened as Kyle described it then, âheâs confessing to the crime of assault.â
âI want to to clear his name because heâs confessing to assaulting me, and it didnât happen,â Ventura told the Alex Jones Show, adding âI can unequivocally tell you Iâve never been punched in Coronado, California.â
Ventura explained that the owner of the bar in question, McPâs 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.
