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.

Close friend Alex Jones points out that Ventura was "veering towards riding off into the sunset for good," but that such attacks on his character could force the former Governor to re-emerge as a prominent force on the US political scene. Jones said that the smear has completely backfired because it will only make Ventura become more public and be more aggressive in asserting his anti-war, pro-freedom principles.

Anyone who knows Ventura also knows that he is a supreme patriot, a proud former SEAL, and would never insult the family members of a fallen soldier at a wake -- such egregious slurs are completely inconsistent with Ventura's character, notes Jones.

Ventura is currently residing at his remote home in the Baja region of Mexico which is virtually cut off from civilization, but is planning to travel to the nearest town in order to do a Skype interview with the Alex Jones Show over the next few days.

His son Tyrel Ventura will appear on the Alex Jones Show tomorrow to address the hoax. Jesse Ventura is expected to make further statements on the issue over the course of the next week.

Read Jesse Ventura's Facebook statement below.

The event this man spoke of never happened. I have been to Mc P's many times since leaving the Navy. I was never there alone. I was always accompanied by other people. If this happened 6 years ago, someone would have known of it before now. Certainly in the UDT/SEAL community it would have been known. This has to be news to all of us.

I have always opposed the war in Iraq but I have never spoken or wished any ill will towards the soldiers. My heart aches that soldiers have died or been wounded because this war should never have taken place. I am perplexed over the agenda this man has and why a fellow Navy Seal would tell a lie about an event that never happened.

Jesse aint got time to bleed.

[GrymWraith]

re disamijisa, their "boss" is actually listed as The Commander in Chief (a.k.a. prez), who presumably was elected by the people. Though lately, the election process is beginning to smell badly.

[danafrog3]

oh thats it,, disamiijisa is not even a american, wow what a surprise,,,and soldiers in the war make pennies compared to most people in the private sector. read, watch the news, educate your self. then speak

[danafrog3]

disamijisa yes u seem so poetic in your writings to.  many people like to not see the facts such as you i am sure you are a teenager or in your twenties and you feel you know everything. lol

[disamjisa]

@FROG200X Thank you for doing your job? The culture of entitlement amongst American veterans is extreme; they forget that their boss is the people of the United States, not the other way around, that it's a privilege to serve, and you are duly remunerated with money, education and a degree of deference. If I were an American, I'd tell you to fuck off if you demanded a thank you

[disamjisa]

@danafrog3 You can barely speak or write. Why would we take you seriously at all?

[danafrog3]

wait jesse said he hated america before he went to mexico, why u think he lives in mexico. huh i met jesse at daytona market in minn. he went off his rocker yelling causing trouble saying i was staring. he was nuts. this does sound like something he would say. oh and 3 seals came forward and said it did happen. another fact.. these are all facts. check it out

[AyeSkyeTech]

wow they are SO worried that Jesse Ventura MIGHT run for office....

[FROG200X]

It may hurt. It may crack a fragile ego or two as well but this story is true. Mr. Ventura is a very opinionated man. His dramatic and loud demeanor got him in trouble. Chris doesn't need to sell his book... It will sell itself. As for Chris actions and multiple deployments.... a simple "Thank you" will do fine.
