No offense to Chuck Norris, but his memetic days are over. Clint Eastwood? The aging gunslinger made a performance out of ditching MAGA years ago, one that’s still better than “Gran Torino.”
No, there’s only one cool right-winger left in Hollywood.
Mel Gibson gave an impromptu endorsement of Donald Trump on Thursday when a TMZ reporter confronted the actor in an airport. (RELATED: Maxim Magazine Endorses Trump)
“I don’t think it’s gonna surprise anyone who I vote for,” Gibson said, swaggering through the terminal in shades and a trucker hat. He seemed to be hoping to bait the reporter, who stammered in response to his derisive tone.
“I’m gonna guess Trump,” the reporter replied, after some hesitation. “Is that a bad guess?”
“I think that’s a pretty good guess,” Gibson responded before slamming Kamala Harris.
Pushing 70, Gibson’s clearly still got it. Reporters are used to being able to bully celebrities into saying what they want to hear about Trump. “A lot of people are saying …” that Trump’s an evil dictator — a go-to line that pressures the subject to go with a fake consensus. The TMZ toady tried just that, but Gibson flipped the script before he could get it all out. “I know what it’ll be like if we let [Harris] in,” he said. “And that ain’t good. Miserable track record. Appalling track record. No policies to speak of. She’s got the IQ of a fence post.”
Gibson might be one of the most canceled men in America, but endorsing Trump today no longer poses any great risk. Trump isn’t radioactive anymore, which is clear from all of the twilight hit pieces that got laughed out of the headlines this week. It’s now socially acceptable to express support — not that Gibson would be dissuaded if it wasn’t.
