Ron DeSantis is the Governor of Florida. He was elected in 2018, defeating Democratic nominee, Tallahassee mayor Andrew Gillum in an extremely close election;[1] reelected in a landslide victory in the 2022 Florida gubernatorial election - his 19.4% margin of victory was the state's largest in 40 years. He is a possible candidate for president in 2024.

Official narrative

Guantanamo Bay

Michael Prysner interviewed Mansur al-Dayfi (a 16 year inmate of Guantanamo Bay) in November 2022. From the interview it is learned that:[4]

  • DeSantis and others were brought in during a hunger strike in 2005 (at a time force feeding was not yet approved), which turned into a political problem for Bush administration (in another interview with Democracy Now al-Dayfi said that he came close to death back then [5])
  • DeSantis introduced himself as a someone who wanted to help the detainees, help the humanitarian situation
  • according to al-Dayfi, Ron DeSantis actually helped to make the situation more unbearable and attended force-feeding sessions amused and/or laughing, beating and usage of pepper-spray were common at the time, as was sleep deprivation - it was the worst time during his 16 year incarceration
  • three leaders of the hunger strike were murdered during the time DeSantis was there, Prysner wonders how much DeSantis knew about this incident

Opinions

“Politicians want to force you to cover your face as a way for them to cover their own asses that's just the truth they want to be able to say they're taking this on and they're doing this even though it's not proven to be effective they want to continue to do it”
Ron DeSantis (22 August 2021)  [6]
