Mel Gibson stoked controversy after he appeared to salute ex-President Donald Trump during a UFC event at the weekend.
Video going viral appears to show the Oscar-winning actor/director making the military-style gesture towards Trump as the former president entered the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas to a mix of cheers and boos for Conor McGregor’s loss to Dustin Poirier.
It’s unclear if Trump saw Gibson in the crowd, or if Gibson was intentionally saluting Trump or responding to something else.

And this video of Gibson wanting a rematch:

There is no such thing as cancel culture if Mel Gibson isn’t cancelled by now.

Mel Gibson liking Trump is about as surprising as David Duke liking fabric softener.

Of course Mel Gibson would stand and salute Donald Trump as he entered a UFC competition in Las Vegas. That’s what one racist, misogynistic, homophobic, fascist does to another. Scum of the earth salutes scum of the earth. pic.twitter.com/g8s0ToVetw

Mel Gibson is the Rob Schneider of Dean Cains of Scott Baios of Kevin Sorbos of James Woods.

Mel Gibson’s dishonorable salute just got him demoted to the D-List with Qevin Sorbo, Scott Baio, and Dean Cain.
