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.”

Ventura made the case that he is a victim in this case and said he only wanted to get to the “truth” to clear his name.

“I’m already damaged,” he said. “I can’t go to a SEAL reunion anymore. That was the one place where I always felt safe. I can’t go there anymore without looking over my shoulder now wondering who is going to come after me next.”

The Frogman is still calling himself a Seal.

Jesse Ventura is the type of guy who would sue an American hero’s widow. That pathetic loser can’t even sue me for saying so, because he’s proven in public that my words are true.

Jesse is sure a fur ball! He used to come on the Mike Trivisanno Show on WTAM here in Cleveland. He called himself “Mr. Blue.” They disguised his voice electronically, but,,,, he has such distinctive mannerisms, etc., that it was easy to tell just who Mr. Blue was! I’ve spent lots of time in recording studios, and I knew it was him after hearing one sentence. I emailed Mike and asked him when he was going to have Jesse “Blue” on again. No answer, but the next time he was on, they altered his voice even more!
If he comes on again, I’m going to call in and call him Jesse. But they’ll just bleep it out!

Why? If you aren't the scumbag I think you are, why would your "brothers" be a threat to you?

Scumbag...

He hasn’t been awarded anything, yet. The judge makes the final call, based on the jury’s recommendations.

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

He has a far worse reputation now. Can’t fix that.

I don't think I need to worry. He's okay with wrestling big guys when there is a script, and he's okay with fighting a grieving widow, but he doesn't seem like the type to challenge another man.
