DeSantis 'is not a good guy,' says former Guantánamo detainee
In 2006, DeSantis, a young Navy lawyer, arrived at the U.S. prison in Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, in the midst of a hunger strike by detainees.

.... “I was a junior officer,” DeSantis replied. “I didn’t have authority to authorize anything.” ....

Attorneys like DeSantis were sent to Guantánamo Bay to offer reassurance that whatever was happening there had legal justification. Their presence became especially critical as detainees launched a hunger strike in 2005 to protest the conditions in which they were held. ....

As the hunger strike persisted, American officials became more aggressive in their efforts to end the protest. Detainees would be held down with restraints and fed with liquid supplements through nasal tubes. “It is clear that the government has ended the hunger strike through the use of force and through the most brutal and inhumane types of treatment," one American attorney told the New York Times after visiting clients at the detention camp. .....

Among the unanswered questions about DeSantis’s time at Guantánamo Bay is whether he had any role in the handling of the three detainee suicides that took place in June of 2006. Recent reporting by the Washington Post suggests that he was involved in the ensuing investigation, but his exact role remains unknown. ....

7. His cruelty is a big plus for the MAGA types scared of CRT, lbgtq, science, etc.

Distracting and appealing to paranoia attracts new residents who move here now specifically for his brand of "freedom." It's disgusting and discouraging.
