Candace Owens has finally broken her silence about being denied entry to Australia. And let me tell you, she is PISSED!
The conservative commentator took to TikTok to express her frustration over what she called “a petty act of vandalism” AKA Australia rejecting her for being the worst.
In case you missed it, Owens had grand plans to grace curse our shores with her presence this month. The 35-year-old conservative pundit had lined up a whirlwind tour, promising to deliver her “raw and unfiltered commentary on politics, culture and everyday life” to eager audiences in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide. Alas, it wasn’t meant to be.
Immigration Minister Tony Burke gave Owens the boot when she applied for her visa, citing her capacity to “incite discord in almost every direction”.
Burke did not hold back, mentioning her Holocaust-downplaying comments about Nazi doctor Josef Mengele and her claims that Muslims started slavery.
“Australia’s national interest is best served when Candace Owens is somewhere else,” he said and a not a single crumb was left.
Speaking publicly for the first time since her visa rejection, Owens went on a bit of a whinge denying her Holocaust comments and accusing Burke of “leaking” the results of her private application.
“I found out at the same time that the press found out,” she said, apparently “stunned” by the process. It truly is shocking when your own actions have consequences.
Owens also claimed her application was blocked due to her coverage of attacks on Palestinians in Gaza and that “the Zionist federation of Australia has come after” her.
“I just wanted to make sure that every person knows that despite me being fired, demonetised, spoken ill about, I haven’t changed my position,” she declared.
Owens went on to share her shattered Aussie dreams: “I did want to hug a koala, I’m not gonna lie, I did. I think koalas are really cute.”
While koalas are undeniably cute as fuck, this is where she lost me: “I did also maybe kind of want to fight a kangaroo. I see a lot of these videos, they’re like jacked and like, punch people, and I was like, maybe that would be good content.”
Ah yes, nothing says ‘let me into your country’ like expressing a desire to punch its wildlife.
While Owens’ team hasn’t officially appealed the decision, they’re “optimistic about a favourable outcome”. Meanwhile, ticketholders who shelled out up to $1500 for VIP access have been promised refunds. I still can’t believe she charge that much — Taylor Swift VIP tickets cost less!
A spokesperson for the tour promoter called Burke’s decision “simply dumb” and “censorship”.
They said the decision was “political bias disguised as a public safety measure”, per News.com.au.
In the end, it seems Candace Owens will just have to settle for a stuffed koala. As for Australia, we’ll just have to live without her. Somehow, I think we’ll manage.
