Mel Gibson's brutal take on Kamala's intelligence
UPDATED: 02:14 BST, 25 October 2024
Mel Gibson says he's voting for Donald Trump this November and believes Kamala Harris has the intelligence of a fence post.
The Braveheart star and devout Catholic was spotted at LAX on Thursday and laughed off a question about who he was voting for in 2024.
'Oh man, that's a big question. I don't think it's gonna surprise anyone who I vote for,' he told TMZ in a rare public spotting.
After confirming that Trump was a 'pretty good guess,' he suggested that he knew 'what it'd be like if we let her in,' referring to Harris.
'That ain't good: miserable track record, appalling track record, no policies to speak of and she's got the IQ of a fence post,' Gibson said.
Gibson has been critical of both major political parties throughout his career. He said he voted for neither major candidate in 2016.
The 68-year-old actor called Bill Clinton a 'low-level opportunist' in the 1990s and was vocal against George W. Bush's wars in the Middle East in the 2000s.
In 2016, however, he said he did not vote for Trump or Hillary Clinton.
In 2021 Gibson saluted Donald Trump in the crowds at Saturday's UFC clash between Dustin Poirier and Conor McGregor.
The Hollywood actor and director acknowledged the former US president as he walked by surrounded by his bodyguards at UFC 264 in Las Vegas.
The actor has previously faced a barrage of criticism after a series of anti-Semitic comments throughout his career.
He was criticized after the release of his movie The Passion Of The Christ in 2004, which was controversial for its gory violence and alleged anti-Semitism.
In 2010, Winona Ryder alleged that Gibson referred to her as an 'oven dodger', in reference to her Jewish background. Gibson's representative said the allegations were '100% untrue'.
