Full title: Ron DeSantis accused of illegal acts of torture against Guantanamo detainees when he was a Navy JAG officer
Not much is known about DeSantiss duties at those locations.

Adayfi, now 44, said DeSantis watched with amusement as he and other detainees were repeatedly force-fed Ensure, a meal replacement shake, through a nasal feeding tube pushed down their throats.
Ron DeSantis was there and watching us. We were crying, screaming. We were tied to the feeding chair and that guy; he was watching that. He was laughing basically when they used to feed us, because our stomach cannot hold this amount of Ensure. They used to pour Ensure, one can after another, one can after another. So, when he approached me, I said this is the way we are treated. He said, You should start to eat. I threw up on his face. Literally on his face.

DeSantis dictatorial, ruthless and a sadist? I wouldn't put it past him.

(5,491 posts)I'm not sure that will play well. Remember, Trump answered all the questions. He just lied. Of course when he initially ran, he had no record. I think that helped him a great deal.
DeSantis has a record.
When Trump ran with a record, it didn't go as well for him.

They don't have to.

All early signs of the adult sociopath.
