The U.S. conservative political commentor Candace Owens was refused a visa to enter New Zealand for a speaking engagement because she had been banned from another country, immigration officials said Thursday.
News of the ruling came weeks after neighboring Australia also rejected her visa request, citing remarks in which she denied Nazi medical experimentation on Jews in concentration camps during World War II.
Owens is scheduled to speak at a series of events in several Australian cities and in Auckland, New Zealand, in February and March next year. Tickets remain on sale and there is no acknowledgement on the promoter’s website that she has been refused entry to both countries.
Lol, this is so absurd. They will ban the crazy lady but have harbored rupert murdoch as he dismantled democracy across the world. Insane.
She is banned for being a holocaust denier. Nothing to do with democracy.
What?! Read the article?! Are you out of your damned mind?
It’s there in black in white. If you can’t read then don’t talk to me.
She denied Jews were experimented on on concentration camps.
If you can’t read then don’t talk to me.
To be fair they wouldn’t be able to read this either.
Yeah I guess if you do one good thing the only important thing is all the other good things you didn’t do. Great point.

That’s Future President Candace Owens to you.
Candace? — More like Can’tdace, amirite?
Can the US reject her trip home?
This is a great way to penalize these far-right grifters. Not only are they prevented from making money on their speaking tour, but they are publicly lambasted and restricted in travel, and there’s nothing they can do about it.
Appoint her to the cabinet, you say?
Maybe… but wait, has she tried to rape anyone before?
Other than everyone’s ears?
I don’t know if that qualifies her
It seems to have qualified Vivek.
You know… as a fan of the elder scrolls I am deeply saddened at the namespace clash.
If it’s a requirement, I’m sure she could manage something on the plane ride home.
If she doesn’t have a citizenship in another country it is just this side of not happening that the sates would leave her stateless as the rules currently stand.
No shit Sherlock.
Not everybody knows that fuckwit.
Apparently not everyone knows what a joke is. But thankfully you’re here to be mr literal.
Maybe, just maybe work on your context clues there chuckles.
Don’t need to. Plenty of people understood exactly what I was saying. It’s not my fault you don’t. Have a good one sweetheart
Ah, so you completely missed the point of my comment and are tripling down on ignorance. Yay! Internet discourse.
So numpty, I was giving people information they might not have had, and your joke is rather milquetoast. You just got upset because not everyone laughed.
Like I said work on your context clues.
Have there been any left leaning influencers or otherwise banned from major countries? Not that I’d expect the right to understand why there is a disparity there. Just for my own curiosity.
New Zealand telling Candace Owens to fuck the fuck off:
Good
Nice let’s go! I was hoping for this!
