Mel Gibson Calls Kamala Harris 'A Fence Post' – Is This the Ultimate Shade?

Mel Gibson throws some serious shade at Kamala Harris while declaring his support for Trump—what's next? A fencing competition?

Hollywood veteran Mel Gibson has stirred the pot once again by taking a jab at U.S. Vice-President Kamala Harris during a recent airport interview. The "Lethal Weapon" star didn’t hold back, infamously stating that Harris has "the IQ of a fence post". This comment came on the heels of his endorsement for Donald Trump in the upcoming election. Gibson, known for his controversial opinions and robust career, might want to clarify if he’s actually talking about Harris or just trying to get a rise out of people by comparing her intelligence to a mere piece of wood.

Not one to shy away from controversy, Mel Gibson’s remark has evoked a blend of support and backlash across social media platforms. The actor pointed out Harris's “miserable track record,” leading fans to wonder if this kind of open criticism reflects a shift in Hollywood personalities dabbling in political discourse or just classic Gibson candor. Is this a strategy? A genuine opinion? Or just another Tuesday in Hollywood where actors become political pundits? As they say, “no publicity is bad publicity!”

When pressed further about his political alignment, Gibson solidified his stance with a quip, stating, “I don’t think it’s going to surprise anyone who I’ll vote for.” The 68-year-old actor’s endorsement of Trump comes at a tumultuous time for both the actor and American politics, highlighting the intersection of entertainment and governance. Fans can't help but compare Gibson's unfiltered opinions to his early career when he was becoming a household name in action films. Talk about going from adrenaline-pumping stunts to adrenaline-pumping political remarks!

Interestingly, this isn’t the first time Gibson has made headlines for divisive comments. His career, although marred by scandals, has been marked by his capacity to provoke dialogues, whether in the form of Oscar-winning films or eyebrow-raising interviews. And speaking of the unexpected, did you know that Gibson directed "The Passion of the Christ," which was one of the highest-grossing R-rated films of all time? Perhaps his knack for drama extends beyond the silver screen and into the realm of political theatrics. Just imagine if Harris and Gibson ever debated – would it be Hollywood trivia night or just a picket line?
