Special about Ron DeSantis' time at Guantanamo Bay canceled with no explanation

The Hollywood Reporter revealed that Showtime pulled a special by Vice News that went into detail about Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) and his time working as a JAG officer at Guantanamo Bay.

"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," said the report.

The episode, titled “The Gitmo Candidate & Chipping Away,” has 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."

No information from the network or Vice has been given about why Showtime canceled the show. The description of the show "hinted at potentially explosive material about DeSantis." Very little information is available to the public about DeSantis' time at GitMo.

“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 description reads.

In April, a report revealed DeSantis' campaign is haunted by what could drop from the governor's role in the military prison. He has already exploded over questions about the subject.

One inmate said: "I will never forget his face, he was laughing and smiling watching me being tortured on the force-feeding chair."

Vice Media recently filed for bankruptcy protection but they announced a group of funders has agreed to purchase them for $225 million.
