My name is Reuben Lowing, I am a former US Navy SEAL and in 2006 at the West Coast SEAL Team Reunion I introduced myself to Jesse Ventura and I mentioned that I was involved with Politics locally as the Vice Chairman and precinct operations chair of the 79th caucus of the San Diego Republican Party. At that minute Jesse Ventura began bashing the Republican Party, President George W. Bush and all Republicans. We started talking about Prop 8 and he told me a story of his gay friend who’s partner was dying and he couldn't say his last good bye because they weren't considered married. Then he went on to talk about how John Kerry should be president. By this time we had moved away from the party and I was getting tired of his brow beating and I told him “I remember when John Kerry testified before congress and labeled our Veteran's as rapist and baby killers. John Kerry’s protesters spit on my uncle when he came back from Vietnam and that incident still effects him today. I hate John Kerry!” At this point I felt that it might get physical and I have a lot of experience boxing but Jesse was about a foot taller than me so I noticed that he was wearing Teva sandals and I was wearing my desert combat boots. My plan if he started anything I would stomp on his instep with my boots and right as I had that thought, he put his hand out and said “I don't mean anything personal, I just wanted you to see how nasty it can get in politics.” We shook hands and walked back to the tent.
A couple of days later a buddy from SEAL Team one told me about Chris Kyle knocking him out, I believe Jesse Ventura was looking for a fight with someone at the reunion that year. If my testimony can help in the law suit for HarperCollins and Tanya Kyle please feel free to contact me.
