Former Navy SEAL and Governor Jesse Ventura discusses his defamation suit against 'American Sniper' author Chris Kyle, and why the court decision was recently overturned with host Joe Rogan. Thanks for watching.
It was overturned because the only reason the court ruled in his favor originally is that it was in Minnesota and he was a Minnesota celebrity. The judge despicable forced the jury to come to a verdict (split) in his favor.
Jesse Ventura sued Chris Kyle when Chris Kyle was alive. Jesse claimed that (this is really general and more exact speech will be more accurate):
*Chris lied when talking about Jesse (most notably in Chris' book)
*Chris knew that they were lies
*Chris' lies hurt Jesse's reputation/etc
*Chris made money off the lies
The jury agreed and so they decided that Chris damaged Jesse and therefore Chris has to give him money to make up for it.
However, at some point between the beginning of the lawsuit and the jury coming to a conclusion, Chris died. Which means that the money is now coming from Chris' estate.
You may want to look into the case it was not the widow who would be paying the cost (Jesse explains it in an interview he did people have fallen for the BS trying to get public to side against him)
Chris was full of himself his ego was off the charts and I am glad Jesse stood up to him.
The money was from many of his lies anyway he doesn't deserve it.
Real war heroes do not gloat about what they did this is why so many Americans are fakes it's all part of the propaganda they use.
Jesse was making ignorant and hateful comments towards are military, Chris just put him in his place. It’s also quite odd that someone who probably spends his days masturbating, watching Netflix and posting on moviechat to feel he has the moral authority to lecture veterans how they should behave.
Jesse who was a SEAL and attended reunions etc without any issues until Chris comes along and starts running his mouth thinking hes a big shot and claiming things which are untrue.
This is why Jesse took legal action the lies spread by Chris impacted Jesse life and rep.
A lot of people like you troll think Jesse never was in military well go look it up you can find his records it has not lied.
The last bit is funny society is what sets what is acceptable it doesn't matter if you are a vet or not.
A vet should be setting a better standard not acting like a spoiled child.
Ummm Jesse didn’t sue Chris’s widow because of any “lies”, also that would be unconstitutional. He sued Chris’s widow because Chris had the balls to put Jesse in his place by decking the son of a bitch.
Get off your ass and do something with your life before attacking those who actually have.
Ventura is an attention whore. He was probably libeled in Kyle's book, but I have zero sympathy for anyone like him who promotes wacky conspiracy theories for money.
Venturas record can be looked up he has not lied about it and this has been verified many times.
Chris on other hand made many claims which have not been backed up by a single person.
The whole thing was about what was written in the book and it was made up never happened again backed by people who was present at the so called place/time it took place.
I am not a fan of Ventura but i understand why he took action and as he said it would not impact the family like the media etc tried to make out you can again look up all the costs are covered by another party.
Chris Kyles was a liar & it would not surprise me if his service record with kills etc is a lie it's typical of Americans to like to create these hero figures.
You really think HAARP is a weapon, that 9/11 was an inside job, that the world was destroyed in 2012, that Area 51 has alien tech, that the JFK assassination was connected to Watergate, the Deepwater oil spill was staged, that various world leaders are lizards, that DEW's are being used against Americans, and that time travel exists? Ventura promotes this crap.
