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.
Banned from two countries for being a neonazi, yet spoke at my uni twice, and protected by cops.
Make it make sense.
It’s ok to be nazi as long as you support israel.
America - home of the free to be any kind of piece of shit you can think of.
Australia - throws you in jail for doing Nazi things
Something something sitting at a table with nazis…
Sure other places aren’t perfect, but this seems like an easy one to settle. The bill of rights have limits as already established by US courts, why in “defense” of the 1st amendment does the US feel like it has to be a nazi? I can’t answer that, I don’t ascribe to whatever belief they’ve got over there.
