ABC's morning talk show The View has repeatedly featured co-hosts and guests who promote the debunked 9/11 truther movement. That tradition continued on Tuesday as conspiracy theorist Jesse Ventura appeared as a co-host. Although Whoopi Goldberg, Sherri Shepherd and Jenny McCarthy avoided Ventura's beliefs on this subject, the former Minnesota governor expounded on his other favorite conspiracy theory: the assassination of John Kennedy. Asked by Shepherd who killed JFK, Ventura had no answer. But he demurred: "That's a difficult thing to say because he made so many enemies and I don't even have the time to go into that but I can tell you this: I can't tell you who killed him, but I can tell you who didn't kill him, Lee Harvey Oswald." This thrilled Shepherd, who kissed Ventura and praised, "Because you know if you decided to run for president, Jesse, I would vote for you."
