Jesse Ventura is a Vietnam Veteran and Navy Seal too?!!
Ventura called Trump a "coward" whose deployment of deadly ICE forces in Minneapolis "undermines the entire Constitution"
Former Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura has strong thoughts about recent events in his state — and the response from President Donald Trump, whom he calls "the draft-dodging coward."
Local news outlet FOX 9 Minneapolis-St. Paul spoke with Ventura outside his alma mater, Roosevelt High School in Minneapolis, on Thursday, Jan. 8, where he was remarkably candid about his feelings on the Trump administration deploying ICE agents to the city.
School at Roosevelt was canceled on Friday after Border Patrol agents reportedly "tackled several people and deployed chemical irritants" as students and teachers were leaving the building the day prior.
"I just came here today to show my support as a graduate of Roosevelt and tell them how proud I was of what they did, of keeping ICE off of this campus," Ventura, a onetime pro wrestler, said. "This is a place of learning, and you learn. You learn things like the Constitution. You learn about warrants. You learn about things of that nature. And what we're getting right now is violating all that, what kids are being taught."
"We don't need federal troops coming in here without warrants," he continued. "Some people have said this undermines local law enforcement. It undermines the entire Constitution. The military cannot be turned loose unless it's a national emergency. They're going to tell me this is a national emergency."
When asked if "they" was referring to Trump, Ventura interrupted. "Who was that? You mean the draft-dodging coward? I don't call him by name."
