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.

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.

Nothing is “settled by the courts” with the current corrupt judges. The law is whatever they say it is. You have no rights, and nobody within the system will defend you.

Holocaust denial is antisemitic, not anti-Israel.

Makes her rich. She knows racism, as she’s had to sue successfully in the past, but it’s easier to get money this way. There’s this podcast where atheists make fun of bad Religious movies (mostly Christian, with a few Jewish, Hindu, scientology, culty, and just plain weird Woo/conspiracy ones) and they are constantly surprised how bad they are yet still profitable.

They joke about just switching sides for the payout. Some people don’t have enough standards to not do so.

God Awful Movies. They have other Podcasts too but I’ve mostly only listened to their comedy ones and not as much their serious ones. Citation Needed (not Citations Needed) is another comedy one from them, where they use mostly Wikipedia to research a subject poorly.
