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.

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.
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.

New Zealand telling Candace Owens to fuck the fuck off:
Good to see the Kiwi’s copying the Aussies when they told Candace to:
Get fucked cunt!
I’ve been led to believe that’s a term of endearment to you people.

Good
That’s Future President Candace Owens to you.
I made fun of Trump before he was elected.
I’ll never over estimate US voters again.
I won’t underestimate US racism though. I don’t think even a right-wing black woman could be elected president.
I grew up in a deep red county in Texas.
A few years ago I already had co-workers from that area talking about Candace Owens, saying they’d wish she would run.
The left is over-indexing on racism. The right doesn’t care what the person parroting their idiotic talking points looks like.
A few co-workers does not a nation make.
This over-indexing on racism will have the left concentrating on the wrong things.
I can’t keep you from doing it. Just a warning.
It is not “over-indexing” to say that the U.S. is an incredibly racist country and Republicans are especially problematic in that area. Those are just facts.

Your anecdotal examples of co-workers does not trump data. Sorry.
You spoke of “facts” and then linked me a survey. After I asserted that lefties are wrong in their assessment of how the right sees race in relation to politics.
I believe Pew is a good source to get a good idea about what people think. This does not, however, mean
theysurvey respondents are correct in their assessment or correctly ascribe racial motivation to a particular political party.In fact, I believe you know this, given what’s in your source:
And when it comes to views about racial discrimination, 78% of white Democrats say the bigger problem is people not seeing it where it really does exist, while a similar share of white Republicans say people seeing racial discrimination where it really does not exist is the bigger problem.
Who’s right? It can’t be both.
So that’s a fun question:
Can the right’s motivational spite overcome its immense racism?
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.
