Candace Owens claims she was rejected Covid-19 test over politics, shows email telling her to get 'back aly' service
Candace Owens has accused a testing facility for Covid-19 of rejecting her service for political reasons and revealing emails with the company that have critics divided over who is completely right.
Owens wrote in tweets this week that she had been denied a Covid-19 test by Aspen Laboratories in Aspen, Colorado, “Because they do not like my policy."
Holy cr !! I just received an email from a Covid testing facility stating that they refuse to administer a test to me because they do not like my policy. INSANE. I have a ban on making sure I do not accidentally spread Covid? Goes live with the email on Instagram in 10 minutes!

The conservative author and expert would later go to Instagram to tell about her experience and post alleged screenshots of emails exchanged between her and the company.
An email said to be from Suzanna Lee, co-owner of the clinic, informed Owens this week that her referral was canceled.
“We cannot support anyone who has proactively worked to make this pandemic worse by spreading misinformation, politicizing and discouraging the use of masks and actively discouraging people from receiving life-saving vaccinations."
Like many other conservatives, Owens has argued against lockdown restrictions and vaccine mandates from companies and local governments, though she says she needs to be tested regularly to comply with mandates she runs into during the trip.
Lee added in her message to Owens that her only other test option in the area is a “Free kiosk at the town hall” located in a “Baggat” and have “Inconsistent result times."

“My team and I have worked overtime, to exhaustion, unpaid and underpaid over the past year and used our equity to ensure our community remains protected," Added Lee. “It would be unfair to them and the sacrifices we have all made this year to serve you."
Owens' tale of having service quickly refused her to spread on social media, inspiring rather mixed reactions, with many celebrating the business owner to start Owens.
“How to Take Garbage Ladies and Gentlemen Out," Bishop Talbert Swan wrote on Twitter in response to Lee’s email to Owens.
Others cited some Republican experts ‘previous support for business owners’ right to choose who to serve, citing the history of the 2012 Cakeshop masterpiece - ironically - in Colorado. The business made waves after refusing to design a cake for a gay wedding over religious objections.
They have their freedom. Is not that what the baker got? They have the right to refuse service to anyone. You’re anyone.

Owens argued, however, that the test facility case, which denied her service, was not a simple matter of freedom of choice, but rather highlights “political” covid-19’s art.
I strongly believe in the freedom to choose. Just the big irony points out that when the “health workers” start choosing who gets to decide if they have covid - we are no longer in a public health crisis. Admit it. Covid is political. https://t.co/NGlXEGjsR2

Some have shown support for Owens, branded Lee as a hypocrite and praised Owens for standing up for “Pandemic Porn Theater."
“I bet Suzanna here in the first email wore Black Lives Matter shirts and can’t see the irony of refusing to care for a black woman like Candace Owens," conservative expert Robby Starbuck tweeted.
We can laugh at this and appreciate it @RealCandaceO has the resources to overcome the radicals who deny her service.But this is also a warning of actual hardships that will strike those who do not conform to the Pandemic Panic Theater. https://t.co/9RJwR7Nted

In a tweet Thursday, the conservative star wrote down the negative reaction to her story as well as controversy surrounding Joe Rogan’s recently revealed Covid-19 diagnosis and unique medication plan that Covid is now “Strictly political." She also boasted that she is back “Ungrown” and “hpy."
“It’s about the obsessive hatred the left has for any person who refuses to kowtow to their fear world order," she tweeted. “I remain unforgettable, healthy and furious."
Both me and Joe Rogan are in trend, and the lesson tonight is … Covid is now strictly political. It’s about the obsessive hatred the left has for any person who refuses to kowtow to their fear world order. I remain unforgettable, healthy and furious. https://t.co/oAkuR0JFna

I literally do not care that she rejected me (as a private company). Just pointing out the INFORMATION that she (and ALL of you leftists) know this pandemic is fake. If you were legitimately scared, you would encourage testing the adults in your neighborhood.
