The former Disney Channel star could not hold back her tears in a now-swiped clip shared to her Instagram Stories.
"I just wanted to say that I'm so sorry," she cried. "All my people are getting attacked, the children. I don't understand. I'm so sorry. I wish I could do something, but I can't. I don't know what to do. I'll try everything, I promise."
Despite the pop star's strong feelings, Kelly was not buying it. "She's unwell. Obviously, this is an unwell person," the right-wing commentator claimed.
"And by the way, anybody who takes their phone, works up in tears and posts a video of themselves crying into their phone is sick. That's a sick person," she continued. "Tears happen. They tend to happen privately."

"If they happen publicly, I think you should quickly move on and recover. But I don't understand the person who works it and tries to squeeze out more tears to make themselves look extra sad. 'I'm really sad. I know I have hundreds of millions [followers], but I hate this country,'" Kelly pointed out. Gomez currently boasts 422 million on Instagram.
"She deleted it after her fans taught her that the majority of the country stands behind these policies, but I'm sure she was shocked to get any blowback whatsoever," the former NBC employee explained.

"This woman has decided to manufacture tears to try to work herself up, you know, as an actress might before a scene that could potentially be say Oscar worthy and try her best to turn on the waterworks in front of the camera," Kelly added.
The media personality isn't the only public figure who's been put off by Gomez's wild display.
Dr. Phil McGraw told Daily Mail, "I don't think she would relate to the people that were taken down in this operation."

"They were reading off the charges and the convictions in the command center," the talk show host — who accompanied immigration agents during ICE raids around Chicago — claimed.
"Murder, murder, child s– crimes, child rape, aggravated assault," McGraw listed. "She seemed to me to be very sincere in her empathy for these individuals, but I'm not sure who she was identifying with."

McGraw said "[ICE agents] are focusing on the worst first."
"That is the way they describe it and I was able to see how much investigative work they put into these targets," the 74-year-old declared. "Safety was their number one concern that they talked about. I was very impressed at the professionalism of all of this."
