Mel Gibson attacks Kamala Harris and calls her “fence smart”

Gibson added that it was “not good” for the incumbent vice president to win a very close election over Trump. “A miserable track record, a terrible track record, no policies to speak of,” Gibson declared about Harris — as you can see below.

Deadline has reached out to Gibson’s reps for a statement on the actor’s words about Harris, but we have not heard back. If we get a response or statement, this post will be updated.

Gibson’s insult today reflects Trump’s repeated attacks against Harris and her intelligence.

Just yesterday the former President of the United States said the Vice President “gave an answer that was out of the loon box” in an interview with CBS. “She’s not a smart person,” Trump added at a rally in Georgia on Wednesday. She is a low intelligence individual.

Even in this context, Gibson’s disparaging IQ comment about the vice president likely brings to mind several “vulgar” statements 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 drunk driving. During the same incident, along with insulting the female officer, Gibson launched a series of anti-Semitic attacks such as “Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world” and “Fucking Jews.”

After being condemned by the likes of Ari Emanuel, Gibson made a series of apologies for the comments. However, when Winona Ryder said in 2020 that Gibson asked for it at a Hollywood party Beetlejuice The actress if she was “oven-dribbling.” Ryder also said that Gibson made fun of his AIDS status by being around a gay friend of the actress.

At the same time, Grigorieva was cleared of Gibson’s claims that the mother of one of his children was trying to blackmail him with racist and violent recordings of her. In those rants, Gibson said Grigorieva “deserved” to be beaten by him. They also have Gibson berate his then-partner for looking “like a fucking bitch in heat” and tell her if she “gets raped by a bunch of ‘N-word about black men’ it’ll be your fault.”

While Kamala Harris had nothing to say about Gibson at all, the vice president clearly doesn’t think much of her rival. The Vice President has described Trump as “increasingly troubled and unstable” recently. During a CNN town hall on October 23, Harris admitted that she believes Trump is a “fascist” — a term that military leaders and many others have attached to Trump based on his words and supporters like those behind Project 2025.

Gibson’s respect for Trump was clearly on display in 2021 when the director was seen greeting the former president at UFC 264 in Las Vegas.
