DeSantis' Outburst Over Guantanamo Bay Claims
TL;DR Summary
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis became angry when questioned by a reporter about whether he witnessed detainees being tortured at Guantanamo Bay while working as a naval attorney. A former detainee claims DeSantis watched him being force fed during a hunger strike in 2006. DeSantis has previously said he advised in favor of the force-feeding program, but later backtracked. The UN regards force feeding at Guantanamo as a form of torture, but the US denies this. DeSantis has sought to distance himself from alleged inmate abuse at Guantanamo as he gears up for a possible presidential bid in 2024.
