Kelly also criticized Democrats’ responses to Gorman’s death.
“I'm sorry, if the Democrats weren't so insane, if it were like your granddad's Republican Party or Democrat Party, maybe, maybe, but they don't care. They're the ones who caused it.”
“They opened the borders without a thought for what it would do.”
“And now that it's catching up with them. That's what you get from Hakeem Jeffries. I don't know. I'll look into it. Who the f**k is Sheridan Gorman? It's really what he's saying. I find this disgusting.”

Her comments focused on the role of government policy in shaping outcomes related to crime and public safety.
Gorman’s family said they were “gravely disappointed by the policies and failures that allowed this individual to remain in a position to commit this crime.”
