Mel Gibson, the well-known actor and director, confirmed his support for President Donald Trump in a recent interview with TMZ. During the exchange, Gibson was clear about his choice, while also criticizing Kamala Harris, the Democratic candidate. His comments sparked attention, especially given his blunt assessment of Harris’ capabilities.
Gibson, famous for his roles in “Lethal Weapon” and “Braveheart,” called Harris’ record “miserable” and “appalling.” He noted that she has “no policies to speak of.” When asked further about his views on her leadership abilities, Gibson said she has “the IQ of a fence post,” a comment that quickly made headlines.
Gibson’s conservative views are not new. In 2021, he was seen saluting Trump during a UFC event in Las Vegas. The gesture caught the attention of both fans and the media. His endorsement of Trump aligns with his long-standing conservative beliefs, which he has openly shared throughout his career.
Aside from his acting career, Gibson has also made a name for himself as a director, winning an Academy Award for “Braveheart” and directing other significant films like “The Passion of The Christ.” Over the years, he has also been vocal about his stance on issues such as abortion, emphasizing the importance of life. In a 1990 interview with Barbara Walters, Gibson expressed his belief that only God has the authority to decide who enters this world.
Despite Hollywood’s left-leaning tendencies, Gibson continues to stand by his values. His latest comments reaffirm his position as a vocal supporter of conservative principles, especially as the election nears.
