Academy Award-winning actor/director Mel Gibson made an off-the-cuff endorsement in the presidential race, and took shots at Vice President Kamala Harris’ intelligence, in a recent chat with TMZ.
Gibson was asked about his thoughts on the pivotal election while he was entering the Los Angeles International Airport. “I don’t think it’s going to surprise anyone who I vote for,” the Braveheart director said.
“Well, so, I mean, I’m going to guess… I’m going to guess,” the TMZ reporter followed up while following Gibson and his entourage into the airport. “Trump. Is that a bad guess?” the reporter said, to which Gibson replied, “I think that’s a pretty good guess.”
The reporter then asked for Gibson’s thoughts on how a second Trump term would look. “I know what it would be like if we let her in,” Gibson replied. “Well, there’s a miserable track record, appalling track record, no policies to speak of,” he continued.
“And she’s got the IQ of a fence post.”

Gibson — a devout Christian and fierce critic of left-wing social views — has made his views on Trump known in the past. Gibson, an avid combat sports fan, was seen saluting the former president when he made his entrance at UFC 290 in Las Vegas. The Best Picture winner was later seen chatting with Trump, Roger Stone and Joe Rogan.
