God, they're both playing a slippery fucking semantics game. It might be technically true to say DeSantis is accused of "authorizing" force-feeding, but it's in the sense of "co-signing," "tacitly endorsing," or "allowing" rather than directly giving orders. They both know this, but DeSantis answers using the more obvious "direct order" interpretation and so is technically telling the truth (completely omitting that his duty was theoretically to protect the detainees from this illegal torture). Rather than clarify his question, Piers Morgan says "so that's wrong" which allows DeSantis to flatly deny any culpability. Scumfucks.
