You may have seen the video that went viral Monday of pop star/actress Selena Gomez bawling uncontrollably because she was concerned that the Trump administration was actually carrying out their campaign promise to repatriate illegal aliens to their home countries. This after former president Joe Biden welcomed in untold millions of illegals during his failed one term in office. Let me just say, I have no personal animosity toward Ms. Gomez; my daughters watched her Disney show back in the day; her pop songs are catchy enough if that’s your jam; I enjoyed the show “Only Murders in the Building” where she starred alongside funnymen Steven Martin and Martin Short; and although she’s had her share of personal drama like most stars who hit it big when they were just kids, she seems like a nice enough person. That being said, the video is cringeworthy to watch – and in full disclosure, I stopped just a few seconds in because it was that uncomfortable. Who would want the world to see themselves in that condition, much less go out of their way to blast it out over the interwebs? Cue the Violins: Selena Gomez Cries Uncontrollably Over Trump's Repatriations: 'The Children!' But the problem isn’t just that it’s hard to watch; it’s that it represents much of what has gone wrong with so many Hollywood celebrities: they spout off in highly emotional diatribes when they have no idea what they’re talking about. On Saturday, the White House communications team decided to educate Gomez and remind her of all the terrible tragedies that she and so many others in her world have been noticeably silent about in the past. The reality that Selena seems unable to grasp can be summed up with three names: Kayla Hamilton, Jocelyn Nungaray, and Rachel Morin. Powerful stuff. Watch the mothers of the three victims who were brutally murdered by illegal aliens and ask yourself where you can find Selena’s crying video about them. Hint: you can’t, because it doesn’t exist. The president’s appointee to solve the crisis that Biden left had a similar response as the White House’s to the infamous video, see below; meanwhile, RedState’s Brandon Morse opines about how the episode exposes a “disgusting” side of the left: Trump Border Czar Tom Homan Responds Accordingly to Viral Selena Gomez Crying Video Selena Gomez's Meltdown Really Highlights One of the Left's Most Disgusting Issues As a mother's son, a husband, and a proud #GirlDad (I'm equally proud of being dad to a cool young dude), I take no joy in watching a young woman sobbing uncontrollably, nor do I feel like eviscerating her in the manner that I would someone like, say, the odious Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA). I don’t think she’s evil; I think she’s… [searches for a nice way to say it]… just not very well informed. I come to two conclusions about the entire affair: 1) Hollywood celebrities have been regularly jumping the shark with their hyper-emotional hot takes on subjects they know almost nothing about (but nevertheless will, in knee-jerk reaction, almost always side with the clueless progressive take). People are tuning them out, and we know this for a fact because dozens of big-name music and Tinseltown stars, from Bruce Springsteen to Oprah Winfrey to George Clooney to Taylor Swift to LeBron James, stumped for the Harris team—to no avail. No one cares what they have to say anymore because, frankly, so many of them are idiots. 2) Trump has taken the lessons of his first term to heart. He will not sit idly by while taking incoming. The new administration will clap back at every BS narrative thrown at them, and they will do so effectively. Just like they did here. This ain't 2016. |
