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.
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.
To be fair they wouldn’t be able to read this either.
Or this
Or this
I’m absolutely positive they dropped a /s that was supposed to be at the end of that comment. If you read it with an exaggerated tone it sounds very sarcastic
She’s banned for denouncing the genocide.
Right, holocaust denier and propagandist who speaks directly to holocaust denier crowd, no parallels there. Carry on.
