Mel Gibson Faces Backlash for Supporting Donald Trump and Criticizing Kamala Harris
Mel Gibson has once again found himself at the center of controversy after reaffirming his support for former President Donald Trump ahead of the upcoming elections. The Hollywood star, known for his roles in films like “Braveheart” and “Mad Max,” has been a long-time supporter of Trump and was even seen saluting the former president at a UFC event in 2021.
In a recent conversation with TMZ, Gibson made a sharp remark about Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris, which quickly went viral. However, the backlash was swift, with many on the internet revisiting Gibson’s controversial past. His harsh criticism of Harris sparked a wave of criticism and reminders of his previous anti-Semitic comments made in 2006.
Despite the ongoing criticism, Gibson has also received some support from within the Hollywood community. Andrew Garfield, who worked with Gibson on the film “Hacksaw Ridge,” recently defended Gibson, describing him as respectful and kind on set. Garfield advocated for Gibson’s redemption, suggesting that everyone deserves a second chance.
The debate around Gibson’s public statements and his personal conduct continues to be a contentious issue in Hollywood and beyond. As the elections draw near, Gibson’s comments have reignited discussions about his influence and the impact of his public endorsements.
