New Zealand has rejected a visa request from conservative commentator Candace Owens after Australia recently rejected one from her for remarks in which she denied Nazi medical experimentation on Jews in concentration camps during World War II, according to a wire service report.
New Zealand said Owens’ visa request was rejected because another country had done so, the Associated Press reported Thursday.
Australia Immigration Minister Tony Burke said the country’s “national interest is best served when Candace Owens is somewhere else.
Despite the ban, Owens is still scheduled to speak at events in Australian cities next year, and tickets are still on sale, the wire service also reports.
Owens until March had a show on the conservative website The Daily Wire, founded by Ben Shapiro. She has also has been outspoken against vaccines, feminism and the Black Lives Matter movement.
