Mel Gibson Endorses Trump, Says Kamala Harris Has “The IQ Of a Fence Post”

The clip has quickly made rounds, with outlets like Variety covering his divisive comments. As a figure known for both his iconic roles and infamous incidents, Gibson’s stance has re-ignited debate over his place in Hollywood and the political sphere.

Though he has appeared at high-profile events, such as saluting Trump at a UFC fight in 2021, Gibson has mostly stayed out of the political limelight in recent years.

Gibson’s fall from grace began in 2006 after a DUI arrest where he made anti-Semitic remarks, and his controversies continued with leaked audio in 2010 revealing racial slurs and alleged abuse against his former partner, Oksana Grigorieva.

Despite these incidents, Gibson has managed to maintain some visibility through directing films like The Passion of the Christ and Hacksaw Ridge.

Meanwhile, Harris has gained support from high-profile celebrities, with recent campaign appearances by Bruce Springsteen, Eminem, Julia Roberts, and Spike Lee.

Gibson’s outspoken support for Trump adds him to the small group of Hollywood figures backing the former president, contrasting with the overwhelming number of industry stars supporting Harris.

As the 2024 election approaches, it’s clear that celebrity endorsements will continue to bring unique attention—and controversy—to both sides of the political aisle.
