Hollywood actor and director Mel Gibson shared a blunt critique of Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris’s intelligence.
In a TMZ video, reporters asked Gibson about his voting choice, leading him to offer a sharp assessment of Harris. The brief exchange unfolded as follows:
TMZ: The president is being voted on in days, what’s your thoughts?
Gibson: Oh man, that’s a big question.
TMZ: What’s wrong?
Gibson: I don’t think it’s going to surprise anyone who I vote for.
TMZ: Well, so, I mean, I’m going to just, I’m going to guess, I’m going to guess… Trump. Is that a bad guess?
Gibson: I think it’s a pretty good guess.
TMZ: Well, what do you think the world will be like in the second term? With the president’s second term?
Gibson: I know what it will be like if we let her in.
TMZ: Oh, really?
Gibson: That ain’t good. Miserable track record, appalling track record, no policies to speak of.
TMZ: Yeah, and the border, right?
Gibson: And she’s got the IQ of a fence post.
At 68, Mel Gibson first gained recognition with his role in Mad Max and later advanced his career with Peter Weir’s Gallipoli. He went on to star in numerous successful films, including Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior, Weir’s The Year of Living Dangerously, The Bounty, the Lethal Weapon series, and The Patriot. In 1993, Gibson made his directorial debut with The Man Without a Face, followed by the Academy Award-winning Braveheart, which earned him an Oscar for Best Director. In 2004, he directed the box-office hit The Passion of the Christ, and in 2016, he directed Hacksaw Ridge, which brought him another Oscar nomination for Best Director.
In July 2021, The New York Post reported that Gibson saluted Trump as he walked through the crowd at a UFC match near Las Vegas.
Gibson has been a vocal opponent of abortion. In a 1990 interview with Barbara Walters, he stated, “God is the only one who knows how many children we should have, and we should be ready to accept them. We can’t decide who comes into this world and who doesn’t; that decision isn’t ours to make.”
