Mel Gibson slams Kamala Harris as “the IQ of a fence post”; The 'Mad Max' star is backing Donald Trump in a tough election, he says

Andrew Garfield praised him only a few days ago Hack's Ridge Director Mel Gibson's controversial Oscar-winner “Cure With Yourself” has been around for years. Based on comments Gibson made today at LAX about the Vice President of the United States We live in time The actor may want to reconsider his approach.

Caught on TMZ camera at the airport, Gibson said Kamala Harris has the “IQ of a fence post.”

Before wearing a trucker hat Braveheart The director/actor has announced that he is voting for Donald Trump to return to the White House. Gibson added that it's “not good” if the current VP wins the election so close to Trump. “Sad track record, terrible track record, and no principles to speak of,” Gibson declared of Harris — as you can see below.

Deadline reached out to Gibson's reps for a statement from the actor about Harris, but we've heard nothing. If we get a response or statement, this post will be updated.

Gibson's insult today echoes repeated attacks on his intelligence made by Harris and Trump.

ust Yesterday the former POTUS said the VP “gave an answer from a loony bin” in a CBS interview. At a rally in Georgia on Wednesday, Trump added: “He's not a smart person. He is a low IQ person.”

Even in that context, Gibson's disparaging IQ comment about the VP will likely remind many of the “Sugartis” comment he made to a female police officer in 2006. Eighteen years ago, Passion of Christ The director was pulled over in Malibu and later booked on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol. During that same incident, in addition to insulting the female officer, Gibson unleashed a barrage of anti-Semitic attacks such as “Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world” and “Jews are fucking”.

Condemned by the likes of Ari Emanuel, Gibson offered a series of apologies for those comments.

At the same time, Grigorieva was relieved of Gibson's claims that the mother of one of his children was trying to extort him by recording racist and violent rants against him. Among these quips, Gibson said that Grigorieva “deserved” to be hit by him. They chastised Gibson for looking at his then-partner “like an af*king dog in heat” and told him that if he was assaulted by a packet of n-words about black men, “it'll be your fault.”

While Kamala Harris didn't seem to have much to say about Gibson, the VP clearly doesn't think much of her rival. The VP recently called Trump “increasingly volatile and volatile.” During a CNN town hall on October 23, Harris admitted that he believes Trump is a “fascist” — a term that military leaders and others have pinned on Trump based on his words and the supporters behind Project 2025.

Gibson's affinity for Trump was evident in 2021 when the filmmaker was seen greeting the former president at UFC 264 in Las Vegas.
