Actor and director Mel Gibson confirmed to a TMZ reporter that he is officially voting for Donald Trump in the upcoming election. But the headline-making moment didn’t stop there—Gibson took a shocking swipe at Vice President Kamala Harris, stating, "She [Kamala Harris] has the IQ of a fence post." The remark has sent shockwaves through social media, fueling a fresh wave of political controversy.
Gibson, known for his outspoken views and long Hollywood career, made the comments during an impromptu interview with TMZ, where he openly declared his support for Trump’s 2024 campaign. "I’m voting for Trump," Gibson said without hesitation. His decision to publicly endorse the former president has reignited debate about celebrity involvement in politics, particularly as the 2024 election draws nearer.
The actor’s sharp criticism of Kamala Harris, however, is what truly grabbed attention. Calling the vice president a “fence post” quickly sparked outrage among her supporters while earning nods of approval from Trump loyalists. Gibson’s remark comes at a time when Harris is under increased scrutiny from both political opponents and members of her own party, with critics questioning her performance as vice president.
"She’s got the IQ of a fence post," Gibson added, a statement that has since been shared and debated across various social media platforms. Supporters of Trump and Gibson have praised the actor’s no-holds-barred attitude, while detractors have condemned his words as inflammatory and disrespectful.
Social media erupted after Gibson’s comments were made public. "Mel Gibson just called Kamala a fence post. This is going to be the talk of the week!" one user posted on X (formerly Twitter). Another wrote, "Celebrities need to stay out of politics, but if Mel’s voting for Trump, he’s got my vote too!"
On the flip side, many expressed their disappointment with Gibson’s remarks, with some questioning whether his endorsement of Trump and criticism of Harris would tarnish his reputation. "It’s sad to see someone like Mel Gibson use his platform to insult the vice president like that," one user commented. "We don’t need more division in this country."
Despite the backlash, Gibson seems unfazed by the controversy surrounding his endorsement. His history of making controversial remarks has never kept him out of the headlines for long, and this latest episode only adds to the actor’s unpredictable public persona.
As the 2024 election heats up, celebrity endorsements—and the backlash that often follows—will likely play a role in shaping public opinion. Gibson’s open support for Trump may not come as a complete surprise to some, but his stinging criticism of Harris has certainly added another layer to the ongoing political drama.
