Hollywood has been pushing left-wing propaganda for decades.
But one major star just broke ranks again with the entertainment industry in a major way.
And Mel Gibson dropped one bombshell about California Democrats that has Gavin Newsom scrambling.
Mel Gibson unleashes on California’s failed Democrat leadership
Academy Award-winning actor and director Mel Gibson has never been one to hold back his political opinions.
The Braveheart star has frequently clashed with Hollywood’s liberal establishment over the years.
Now Gibson is taking aim at California’s Democrat leadership after years of watching his home state spiral into chaos.
In a weekend podcast appearance, Gibson delivered a scathing assessment of Governor Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass.
The actor didn’t mince words when discussing their handling of recent crises that have plagued the Golden State.
"Gavin Newsom and Karen Bass have already proven their incompetence and poor leadership during the Los Angeles wildfires," Gibson stated.
Gibson pointed to the devastating wildfires that have repeatedly ravaged California as evidence of the Democrats’ failed leadership.
Under Newsom’s watch, California has experienced some of the most destructive wildfire seasons in the state’s history.
The actor argued that the current crisis goes far beyond natural disasters.
"Now, as we experience rampant lawlessness and civil unrest, it’s never been more clear they’re unable to respond effectively and responsibly during calamity," Gibson continued.
Gibson challenges Californians to demand better leadership
The Passion of the Christ director didn’t stop at criticizing individual politicians.
Gibson took direct aim at the entire system of Democrat governance that has controlled California for decades.
He argued that the failures aren’t isolated incidents but part of a broader pattern of incompetence from the Democrat Party.
"Whether it’s sheer incompetence or outright malevolence, the reality is stark: California’s in a state of turmoil," Gibson declared.
The actor then posed a direct challenge to his fellow Californians about how much more they’re willing to endure.
"And I ask my fellow Angelenos, ‘Why are Gavin Newsom and Karen Bass still in office? How much more of their destructive decision-making masquerading as leadership are we going to tolerate?’" Gibson asked.
Gibson’s comments come as California faces multiple crises under Democrat leadership.
Crime rates have surged in major cities like Los Angeles and San Francisco.
Homelessness has reached epidemic proportions across the state.
The cost of living has skyrocketed while businesses flee to more favorable states.
Gibson calls for new leadership to save California
The Hollywood icon didn’t just criticize the current leadership.
Gibson also offered a vision for how California could turn things around with better leaders.
He urged voters to break free from the cycle of failed Democrat governance that has plagued the state.
"It’s time to take back our community and our state and put the power and the privilege in the hands of competent leaders whose goals are to protect us and the way of life this nation was founded upon and promises to offer," Gibson concluded.
Gibson’s comments represent a rare public rebuke of Democrat leadership from a major Hollywood figure.
Most celebrities in the entertainment industry toe the liberal line or stay silent on political issues.
Gibson’s willingness to speak out makes his criticism all the more significant.
The actor has long been an outsider in Hollywood due to his conservative views and past controversies.
But his latest comments could resonate with California voters who are growing frustrated with the state’s direction under Democrat control.
California has been a reliable blue state for decades.
But recent polling shows growing dissatisfaction with Democrat leadership among voters.
High-profile recalls of Democrat officials have gained traction in recent years.
Gibson’s critique adds another prominent voice to the growing chorus of Californians demanding change.
The question now is whether voters will heed Gibson’s call and demand new leadership.
Or will they continue to tolerate what the actor calls the "destructive decision-making" of California’s Democrat establishment.
Time will tell if Gibson’s bombshell comments will help spark the political change he’s calling for in the Golden State.
