Candace Owens mimics Selena Gomez crying as she finds her tearful deportation video 'funny'
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Candace Owens has joined the list of conservatives who are lambasting Selena Gomez over her tearful video against Donald Trump administration’s immigration policy.
Gomez in a now-deleted Instagram video reportedly broke down in tears as she reacted to mass deportation Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids. But Owens found her post “funny” as she mimicked her crying in a YouTube shorts video.
Posted on her channel on January 28, the political commentator said, “So you have a feeling coming on, imagine you in your life like something happens I don't know, you start crying hysterically. Nobody grabs their cellphone.”
She then went on to copy the actress as she took her phone and pretended to film herself just like Gomez.
Candace Owens finds Selena Gomez’s crying video ‘little annoying’
Candace Owens also went on to call the 32-year-old singer “weird” as she continued, “I think it's funny and I think it's okay for us to objectively embrace the fact that Selena Gomez crying on Instagram is funny and we have to tell them it's funny in that way.”
The 35-year-old pundit then added, “So anyway just wanted to show you that, no hard feelings, seriously, I hope you have an amazing wedding but it's a little annoying that you did that.”
Not only that, Owens also tweeted her reaction to Gomez’s emotional video on X. She tweeted, “This is objectively hilarious.”

Selena Gomez expressed her helplessness on mass deportation
The ridiculing came after the ‘Only Murders in the Building’ star told her millions of followers on Instagram, “I just want to say that I'm so sorry. 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,” Gomez added, who has Mexican heritage.
Tom Homan asked Selena Gomez to show tears for trafficked children
Selena Gomez was immediately called out by ‘The Five’ host Dana Perino and Sean Hannity as well as by Trump's “border czar” Tom Homan.
Homan even asked Gomez, “We got a half a million children who were sex trafficked into this country, separated from their families, put in the hands of criminal cartels to be smuggled into the country. This administration can't find over 300,000. Where's the tears for them?” as per Fox News.
But ‘The View’ co-host Sara Haines stood up for Gomez as she stated, “Watching Selena Gomez… What people don’t understand is that two things can be true at once. All of the conservative media pundits answered with, ‘What about the violent criminals?’"
"Selena Gomez can feel compassion for people being deported, she has a very personal connection to that," she noted.
“Her grandmother came in the back of a truck across the border and her father was then born in the country. That is natural to then say, 'God, it's heartbreaking to watch this'. It can be heartbreaking and she can still not be okay with violent criminals,” Haines added.
