Airbnb has banned Michelle Malkin, blocking the right-wing political commentator from booking reservations on its platform, the company confirmed last week.
Malkin, who has aligned herself in recent months with Nick Fuentes' America First movement, said on Twitter Wednesday that she and her husband had been banned from staying at Airbnb locations. The vacation rental company deleted Malkin's account because of her participation in the 2021 American Renaissance Conference, according to an email Malkin posted online.
"It has come to our attention that you were a keynote speaker for the 2021 American Renaissance Conference earlier this month in Tennessee," the email said. "Airbnb's community policies prohibit people who are members of or actively associate with known hate groups. Due to your promotion and participation in a known white nationalist and white supremacist conference, we have determined that we will remove your account from Airbnb. This is consistent with action we've taken to ban people associated with this conference in past years."
The platform confirmed Malkin's ban in a statement to The Daily Beast on Wednesday. "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," spokesman Ben Breit said.
Airbnb took action against Malkin's husband's account in addition to her own because "[a]s we can see that your Airbnb travels are typically reserved via your husband's account, we will also proceed in removing his account," according to the email Malkin posted.
