ANY GERMAN CAN VISIT THE US, dude.
She had all the requirements needed for this.
She asked the US consulate if she needed a visa to do research as a freelance journalist and was told NO, not necessary.
Instead of telling her, sorry, the consulate made a mistake, you can't do your work here, they sent her back, and denied her to contact the German consulate to boot.
All because she wanted to find out more about German war criminals and how they were protected by the US. Should be embarrassing to defend such actions here, but I guess it's fun for some people.
