Mel Gibson, the Academy Award-winning actor better known for his portrayal of brave heroes than for adhering to Hollywood’s typical leftist agenda, recently made waves with his endorsement in the presidential race while navigating through the chaos of LAX. In a moment that screamed less Hollywood and more common sense, Gibson didn’t shy away from making it clear where his political loyalty lies.
Caught by a TMZ reporter as he was making his way through the airport, Gibson was asked about his voting intentions for what is arguably the most consequential election since the birth of democracy in this nation. With a characteristic smirk, he suggested that his choice wouldn’t surprise anyone, hinting heavily at his support for Donald Trump. With the reporter playing a “guessing game,” all it took was a prompt about Trump to confirm that Gibson’s political compass is still firmly pointed towards the right.
But Gibson didn’t stop at mere endorsement. He took a hard swing at Vice President Kamala Harris and her rather unimpressive record. When asked what a second Trump term could entail, Gibson wasted no time airing his skepticism about allowing Harris to step up to the plate. He described her track record as “miserable” and “appalling,” which must have struck a chord with anyone who has been subjected to the weekly disaster reports from the White House.

He even escalated the vitriol by comparing her intelligence to that of a “fence post,” a comment that may have left some in Hollywood clutching their pearls. Considering that many in Tinseltown seem to lavish praise on mediocrity, it was refreshing to hear a figure like Gibson speak candidly about Harris’s capabilities—or lack thereof. This level of honesty, often in short supply these days, emphasizes a critical truth that people are waking up to: not all celebrities are enamored with the woke agenda that seems to be the default setting in the industry.
Gibson, who has made a name for himself not just through blockbuster hits but also for his unapologetic Christianity and traditional values, has good reason to be open about his political stance. His previous public interactions with Trump at events like UFC 290, where the two casually embraced the joys of combat sports, indicate that Gibson isn’t just a fan of the former president’s policies; he aligns closely with the grassroots conservativism that so many Americans cherish. In an industry that often seems out of touch with the sentiments of everyday folks, Gibson stands tall as a beacon of conservative values amidst the storm of Hollywood liberalism.
