The Spin
Narrative A
The selective moral outrage exposes rank hypocrisy in visa decisions. While blocking Owens for controversial comments, leaders welcome others who likely hold far more extreme antisemitic views than any American commentator. This inconsistency reveals political theater over principled immigration policy.
Narrative B
Australia's High Court made the right call in blocking Candace Owens' visa. Her Holocaust denial claims and antisemitic conspiracy theories cross the line from free speech. The bipartisan support for this decision shows that even conservatives recognize when someone's rhetoric threatens social cohesion.
