Following claims made by US Navy SEAL Chris Kyle that he punched Jesse Ventura for badmouthing US troops during a wake for a slain soldier in Coronado, California, Ventura has denounced the story as an outrageous lie, asserting that the event never happened.


Kyle, who has been the subject of numerous television interviews over the past few days while he promotes his new book, is a sniper marksmen who has been made into somewhat of a poster child for US military involvement in the Middle East following his tales of killing hundreds of Iraqi insurgents.

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 "murderers" and saying "we deserved to lose a few guys".

Kyle then claims he punched Ventura, knocked him to the floor, and quickly ran away.

Infowars today spoke with Tyrel Ventura, Jesse Ventura's son, who related to us how Ventura is shocked, heartbroken and saddened about how a fellow Navy SEAL could invent such a hurtful and abhorrent lie.

The event never happened, Ventura has never met Kyle, and the whole story is a transparent hoax seemingly designed as an attempt at character assassination given Ventura's very public recent battles with the federal government, in particular his fight with the TSA, and his vehement anti-war stance, Tyrel told us after talking with his father.

Ventura explained that he has only ever visited the bar in question with groups of friends, and the notion that the story if true would not have already become public in the space of over five years is plainly ludicrous.

Ventura labels the story a total fabrication and is beyond heartbroken that a fellow service member and Navy SEAL would invent such outrageous lies designed to defame him and help sell a book. He adds that it is incredibly vicious to claim at a wake he would insult the family members of a slain soldier, which is one of the worst slurs that could be made against anybody, not to mention a former Navy SEAL like Ventura.

In his Facebook response, Ventura makes reference to another false claim that had to be retracted about him supposedly tail gating in California last week, suggesting that there is an organized effort to "destroy my credibility".

Such actions may be an effort to pre-empt the possibility that Ventura could enter the presidential picture as a candidate for the Libertarian Party. Tyrel Ventura told us that Jesse is completely blown away that the establishment is now coming after him by way of manufactured hoaxes and cynical acts of character assassination in a bid to politically discredit him.

Chris Kyle is a disgrace.

[kruger5597]

Fox News is a diaper load.

@uturn2788 he broke a bond?

i tinks he broke a fucced up head !!

...Jesse sometimes tells both sides of the story when it comes to war and is misunderstood. There is NO DOUBT that Ventura loves the troops. As a Vet my self, he is a great inspiration and Vets appreciate him questioning those who send Vets into war. Even Kyle said he follows orders of the ELECTED President-But Jesse tries to open people's minds, even those w/star-spangled-eyes, and can be offensive at times when he's upset at something that concerns him a lot. Below is what I think happenened:

[uturn2788]

This whole thing is being blown out of proportion from all ends. I think that the punch happened. I think it was agreed upon by all parties involved that it wouldn't be talked about. SEALS keep secrets, all groups who have strong bonds do. It was a gentlemen's agreement or charges would be filed. Kyle broke that bond, on O&A, while promoting his book and DID get publicity as a result. All this says is: a 30y/oVET hit a 60y/oVET b/c he didn't like what he said and ran off. Kyle sounds pathetic.

[ibelontojesus2]

Seriously. LOL at this guy saying he punched jesse and it was because he said he was glad the seals were dead. Why would A. Why would someone who was in the service ever say that? B. How can you punch a brick wall?

[goldenpassages]

Jesse's reputation is without a blemish.

[goldenpassages]

no one has the balls to hit Jesse. He is a man not someone that will worry about getting hit by anyone. The media does not know the truth and they are supposed to verify any story which we all know they do not do. They just make up what they want to talk about. Ron Paul is the man for the job - Both rep and dem's are rotten to the core and stand for the same agenda.  VOTE RON PAUL - CONSTITUTIONALIST Get back our freedoms and the few feeble rich try to control us
