Renowed talk show host Dr. Phil McGraw has responded to actress and singer Selena Gomez, who posted a hysterical video this week sobbing and railing against President Donald Trump’s ongoing illegal immigrant crackdown.
After embedding with ICE agents in Chicago over the weekend, Dr Phil is now convinced that if Gomez had seen what he saw, she wouldn’t be shedding tears.
‘I certainly don’t think she was crying for these individuals,’ said Dr Phil, in an exclusive interview with the Daily Mail after he was reportedly granted full access to the ICE operations that rounded up more than 100 individuals since Sunday.
‘I wanted to see [the immigration enforcement raids] for myself, Dr Phil told the Mail. ‘There were no restrictions. There was no room I couldn’t go into. There was no meeting I couldn’t attend.’
On Monday, Gomez’s Instagram video attracted a lot of attention, as the Only Murders in the Building star broke down in tears claiming, ‘All my people are getting attacked, the children. I don’t understand.’
Gomez, 32, quickly took down the post, but not before it was viewed by tens of thousands. Dr Phil was charitable in his response to the actress.
‘She seemed to me to be very sincere in her empathy for these individuals, but I’m not sure who she was identifying with… I don’t think she would relate to the people that were taken down in this operation,’ he said.
In a 4.00 am pre-raid meeting, Dr Phil recounted standing by as ICE agents were briefed on the individuals that they would be targetting.
‘I certainly don’t think she was crying for these individuals,’ said Dr Phil, in an exclusive interview with the Daily Mail after he was reportedly granted full access to the ICE operations that rounded up more than 100 individuals since Sunday.
