Showtime pulled the episode of its Vice newsmagazine last week that featured a report on Ron DeSantis’ time as a U.S. Navy lawyer, where he allegedly oversaw the force-feeding of prisoners at Gitmo. Gee, I wonder why? Via the Hollywood Reporter:

The episode, the fourth in Vice’s fourth season, had been slated to air May 28. Showtime pulled the episode, however, and is now referring to the June 4 installment as episode four of the season. Repeat programming aired in place of the shelved episode on May 28.

Mentions of the originally scheduled episode, titled “The Gitmo Candidate & Chipping Away,” have been scrubbed from Showtime’s website and press portal. An email sent to press on May 24 noted that a screener of the episode was available; however, on May 30, a follow-up email noted a different installment, titled “Detransitioners & Draining the DRC,” as episode four.

[...] The description of the episode, as seen on cached versions of the Vice page on Showtime’s site, hinted at potentially explosive material about DeSantis, who recently entered the Republican presidential race. The episode’s description reads in part, “Seb Walker investigates allegations from former Guantanamo Bay detainees that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis witnessed acts condemned by the United Nations as torture during his past service at the controversial detention camp as a Navy JAG officer.” (The “Chipping Away” part of the episode title refers to a different report on the “high-stakes race between the U.S. and China over the production of semiconductors.”)

Ron contends these prisoners couldn't possibly recognize him. But war crimes are routinely prosecuted on the basic of identification by victims.

And as we already reported, he already admitted back in 2018 that this was part of his work at Gitmo.
