Watch The ReidOut Highlights: Sept. 19

DeSantis knew this would be a national news event!

Question: If DeSantis had nothing to do with it, why is he so concerned

with explaining that it was done in a legal fashion?  If you or I had nothing

to do with a crime, we would not be concerned with explaining how it

could have been legal, right?

But then there's another question;

DeSantis is trying to tell us that the victims consented to his ministrations.

Why would anyone believe that people under maximum stress could

be able to legally give consent to what would obviously be against their

own best interest?  They were told a number of things, meant to persuade

them to consent to the transfer, but none of those things were true.  Thus

the "consent" wasn't really consent but coercion.  A 12-year-old for example 

Mr. DeSantis would consent to sex for ice cream, but that consent would not

be deemed legal because the child could not fully appreciate the consequences

of their own actions.  That should tell us that immigrants newly across the 

border and without resources or knowledge of the laws and much more, 

would have enough knowledge of the consequences of their decisions

to be able to give a legally acceptable version of consent and DeSantis 

would know that.
