Jesse Ventura Whacks Vance For 'Shameful' Attack Against Walz

I've gone back and forth on my feelings about former governor of Minnesota and former Navy SEAL Jesse Ventura, who rightfully spoke out about Dick Cheney and waterboarding on more than one occasion, but then turned to conspiracy land with the likes of Alex Jones when contemplating a presidential run in 2016.

Regardless of Ventura's past, I was happy to see someone mention the fact that the deployment Vance was falsely accusing Walz of dodging was one that never should have happened in the first place, and someone again whacking him for his support of Trump who dodged the draft.

Here's the exchange between Ventura and CNN's Laura Coates from this Friday:

COATES: Governor Ventura, thank you so much for joining me this evening. I'm really eager to hear your take on this because you are a former Navy SEAL. You served in Vietnam. And I have to ask you what you think of this attack from the Trump-Vance ticket on Governor Walz's military service.
