Twitchy posted yesterday on the excitement surrounding the premiere of the new film “American Sniper” starring Bradley Cooper as U.S. Navy SEAL Chris Kyle, but it’s this tweet from CNN’s Jake Tapper, who was at the premiere, that has us cheering this morning:
Just saw American Sniper. Powerful.
Thankfully no Jesse Ventura scene so he can't sue the widow for film proceeds.

Yes!
Jake is reminding readers of this story from September where Jesse Ventura successfully sued Kyle’s widow in a defamation suit over an incident that occurred before Chris was murdered in 2013.
@jaketapper LMAO! Ouch.

Does Jake Tapper have to watch his back, however, now that he called out the former pro-wrestler?

Jake did report on his fitness routine earlier this year:
