He cited his experience in Southeast Asia — including being in the Philippines when martial law was declared — as a warning about the erosion of constitutional norms.Ventura also criticized political leadership for departing from constitutional principles and called out Republicans as a domestic threat to the Constitution. He tied his remarks to a recent ICE confrontation near Roosevelt High School, his alma mater, praising those who stood up to protect students’ civil liberties.In the same interview, he called former President Trump a “draft-dodging coward” and hinted at a possible return to politics, saying, “Maybe it’s time for Jesse. I only did one term. I’m owed a second.”Do you agree with Ventura’s comparison? How do you see the role of military and federal forces in U.S. cities today?#JesseVentura #FOX9 #ThirdWorldCountry #Constitution #Minnesota CivicDuty PoliticalCommentaryView all 10,085 comments https://www.instagram.com/reel/DTRgxJbDZ0E/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==
