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.
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
Right, holocaust denier and propagandist who speaks directly to holocaust denier crowd, no parallels there. Carry on.

Murdoch is an American citizen. Australians like me feel embarrased of his origins, but he’s not our problem anymore.
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.
