Jesse Ventura is making headlines again with his unfiltered political takes. The WWE Hall of Famer appeared on the SpinSisters podcast to discuss the current state of the country.
He suggested that Minnesota should formally secede from the United States and join Canada. Ventura cited the friction between the state and Donald Trump as the primary reason for this hypothetical move.
The former Governor noted that Canada would never agree to become the 51st state due to healthcare concerns. He argued that the only logical solution is for Minnesota to cross the floor and become part of Canada.
Ventura also took a jab at residents of neighboring states. He joked that Iowans would be forced to cross an international border just to come north for fishing trips.
This follows recent comments where he called the former President a coward. Ventura continues to prove he is not afraid to challenge political norms.
Former Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura is now telling Minnesota to secede and become part of Canada.
He says Trump dislikes Minnesota so much that maybe it’s time to leave.
