Airbnb BANS columnist Michelle Malkin for attending American Renaissance event in Nashville
Conservative columnist and white nationalist ally Michelle Malkin has been kicked off from Airbnb on Wednesday, February 2. The columnist has been booted for attending the white nationalist organization American Renaissance's gathering in Nashville last November.
“Consistent with our policies, if we become aware of users who are members of or are actively affiliated with hate groups, we remove them from Airbnb,” company spokesperson Ben Breit told The Daily Beast.

The site also barred Michelle’s husband as most of her trips were often booked from his account.
“The new twist in my case is Airbnb going after my HUSBAND for simply being married to me. Are my kids next? How about other #AmericaFirst families?” Malkin wrote on Twitter.
3/I've reached out to @airbnb asking what steps they took to obtain my full remarks at AmRen 2022 & how many other FAMILIES of #americafirst patriots like mine have been retaliated against & deemed dangerous individuals for peaceful, lawful free speech.

“Of course, this latest & ongoing escalation of the de-platforming wars is not just about Airbnb or me. It’s about curtailing underlying power of SPLC & ADL to oppress their most effective political opponents & sabotage every aspect of our professional & personal lives,” continued Malkin.
Malkin has called the ban “the grim reality of life in Woke America 2022” in a rebuttal for Airbnb. She said that her speech condemned both “Swamp Democrats and establishment Republicans for selling us out.”
“The speech delved into the K-20 metastasis of anti-white curriculum, the corporate media’s whitewashing of black-on-Asian attacks, and the long campaign to censor nationalist dissidents who put America first,” she wrote.
Airbnb says it has removed one million users for violating its anti-hate policy. The company cleared that policy requires users to “treat everyone in the Airbnb community—regardless of their race, religion, national origin, ethnicity, disability, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, or age—with respect, and without judgment or bias.”
The paradise platform said says that it has booted users for violating the commitment, particularly the have removed white nationalists attending the infamous Unite the Right rally, Charlottesville in 2017.
Malkin mailed the media platform The Daily Beast, where she wrote, “didn't use Airbnb to book accommodations in Nashville,” but her ban was due to her speech at the gathering.
