Mel Gibson backs Trump for president, says Harris has 'the IQ of a fence post'
The 'Braveheart' star panned the Democratic nominee's 'miserable record'
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Actor and filmmaker Mel Gibson revealed he's backing former President Trump in the 2024 election and took a swipe at the intelligence of Vice President Kamala Harris.
Video obtained by TMZ shows the "Braveheart" star being asked about the presidential race during an exchange at LAX.
"I don't think it's gonna surprise anyone who I vote for," Gibson said.

"I know what it'll be like if we let her in," Gibson said, referring to Harris. "That ain't good."
"A miserable track record, an appalling track record, no policies to speak of, and she's got the IQ of a fence post," he added.

Gibson's political alliance is not a total surprise. The "Hacksaw Ridge" director was spotted chatting with the former president at a UFC fight in Las Vegas last year.
