Hollywood has a long-running love affair with Kamala Harris—or at least most of Hollywood does. Red-carpet shout-outs, gushing endorsements, and borderline cringe posts on social media have made it clear that Tinseltown’s A-list is all-in on her presidential campaign. These celebrities, who live worlds away from the struggles of everyday Americans, are using their clout to nudge the public into supporting Harris. The irony? Her policies might end up hitting the average household right where it hurts.
When you’re sitting on a million-dollar bank account, a private beach house, and zero concerns about gas prices or grocery bills, it’s easy to back a candidate whose agenda could make life tougher for everyone else. But a few brave souls in Tinseltown aren’t buying the hype. Some renegades are ditching the Hollywood script and calling out Harris’s lackluster record—a record stacked with more PR blunders than real accomplishments. Leading this bold band? None other than Mel Gibson. Yes, the “Braveheart” himself has a few things to say about Harris, and trust me, he’s not pulling any punches.
When TMZ caught up with Gibson and asked about his political leanings, he didn’t hesitate. He joked around initially, but then he got serious, openly questioning Harris’s qualifications. His exact words? He declared she “has the IQ of a fence post.” A bold statement for anyone, but in Hollywood, where criticizing progressive candidates is career suicide, it’s practically a battle cry. But Gibson isn’t exactly known for playing by the rules, and for conservatives who are sick of Hollywood’s one-sided preaching, his blunt assessment of Harris is a breath of fresh air.
Gibson isn’t wrong to question her track record. Just take a look at her resume. Sure, she served as California’s Attorney General, but her tenure was marred by botched cases, mishandled evidence, and numerous instances where justice wasn’t served. She moved on to the Senate, where she mostly just voted with the party line and failed to distinguish herself as a leader. And as Vice President? She’s been practically a ghost on major issues. On questions about immigration, inflation, and crime, she either dodges or delivers non-answers that seem pre-packaged by PR handlers. But the Hollywood elite doesn’t seem too bothered by her lack of accomplishments—they’re too busy telling the rest of us why we should jump on board.
What makes Gibson’s stance so interesting is his track record of standing up for conservative values, no matter how much heat he takes. From opposing abortion to showing up at a UFC match to salute Donald Trump, Gibson’s always been a straight shooter about his beliefs, even when they go against Hollywood’s grain. In a 1990 interview with Barbara Walters, Gibson didn’t mince words on his pro-life stance, saying, “God is the only one who knows how many children we should have, and we should be ready to accept them.” He was direct: no one has the right to play God and decide who lives and who doesn’t.
So, when he dismisses Harris as “underqualified” with an “appalling track record,” he’s not being contrary for the sake of it. He’s voicing a sentiment that resonates with many Americans who feel like Hollywood elites are wildly out of touch with the real world. Behind the glitzy endorsements and glamorous Instagram posts, Harris’s record and policies don’t exactly scream “commander-in-chief.” They point more toward increased government interference, inflationary policies, and a progressive agenda that would weigh heavily on middle-class families.
For years, Harris has been the darling of the leftist Hollywood circle, but it’s worth asking: how much do these celebrities actually know about her policies? Or better yet, do they even care? For the average American, her policy history suggests more government control, additional regulations, and initiatives that could keep inflation high and make family life more costly. Harris’s support for the Green New Deal, among other radical climate policies, might sound great in theory. But in practice, it risks hiking up energy costs and restricting energy independence—bad news for folks who can’t afford to shrug off rising bills.
Meanwhile, Gibson’s support for Trump highlights a real divide between Hollywood’s affluent elite and the everyday American. Trump’s past policies aimed at lowering taxes, boosting energy independence, and securing borders helped usher in a time of prosperity and growth before the pandemic hit. For those who remember that stability, Harris’s proposals fall flat. Gibson’s criticism underscores the fears many have: that Harris would push an expanded government, an unsteady economy, and policies that prioritize division over unity.
So while Hollywood’s chorus of endorsements makes the headlines, the decision for voters couldn’t be clearer. They’ll have to weigh whether they want a leader who backs real economic stability and strength or one whose track record points toward more government interference and more financial burden on families.
Gibson’s critique is more than just a Hollywood rebel talking out of turn. It’s a reality check in an industry far removed from the challenges that Americans face every day. And for many voters, his candid words about Harris might just hit home.
