Mel Gibson Threatens 'to Kill Someone' While Fearmongering at Mar-a-Lago

A cavalcade of supporting characters in the MAGA universe, and President-elect Donald Trump, showed up at Mar-a-Lago on Tuesday to attend a soiree for the conspiratorial, QAnon-adjacent conservative nonprofit America's Future.
Mel Gibson, the traditionalist Catholic actor/director, told the crowd, "I got nine kids. If one of them got stolen or trafficked, I'd have to kill someone."

That chimes with the kind of themes promoted by the group's chairman, retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, who has remade America's Future in his own image. Since his appointment in 2021, the formerly meat-and-potatoes conservative group has shifted to promoting QAnon-adjacent conspiracy theories about a clandestine cabal of pedophiles controlling media and government.
Last year, Gibson executive produced Sound of Freedom, a Christian thriller starring QAnon conspiracist Jim Caviezel that stoked QAnon paranoia. He praised Flynn for exposing "wolves in sheep's clothing that prey upon our young" during Tuesday night's speech at Trump's club.
In addition to Gibson—who arrived in a polo shirt, shorts, and Crocs before changing into a more appropriate suit and tie—other attendees included British comedian turned conspiracy theorist Russell Brand, car dealership fortune heir turned working-class poseur Kid Rock, Fox News outcast Tucker Carlson, and former Trump adviser Roger Stone.
Trump was listed as an "invited honored guest" and was seen alongside Flynn before he briefly addressed attendees outside, accompanied by Flynn, Carlson, and Kid Rock, who he called "great people."

Carlson and Kid Rock, nee Robert Ritchie, were given "Champion for Freedom" awards by Flynn.
Carlson once called QAnon supporters—who believe a cabal of clandestine, Satanic child molesters are working against Trump—"gentle people waving American flags." America's Future, under the professed mandate of combatting human trafficking, has promoted similar conspiracies.
"They have organ harvesting," says Flynn's sister, Mary O'Neill, who was appointed executive director after he became chairman, in a video on their site. "They have also found a way to take the blood, and use the blood, to make themselves youthful."
One attendee, who posed with Stone, commented on Instagram that they saw one-time television actor turned COVID and election denier Kevin Sorbo, who has been known to frequent Mar-a-Lago.
But the biggest name on hand, after Trump, was Mel Gibson, the pope-denying traditionalist Catholic actor and director.
Gibson called the Biden administration "four years of thinly veiled Marxism" and the incoming Trump administration as "a four year grace period," adding "we'll see how much this administration can claw back from the Philistines."

Mel Gibson is in the same sack of deplorables as Steve Bannon, far right Catholic weirdos who embarrass the religion.
Donald Trump's "home" hosted a celebration of a sick group of conspiracy theorists
This shit is taking place in plain sight, and the media sits twiddling their thumbs.
It's hard to keep them straight, are these the same conspiracy theorists who thought Hunters laptop was planted by Russians? or that trump was working for Putin? or are these the ones that thought Hillary was running a child trafficking ring out of a pizza parlor? Maybe the ones who thought a video led to the death of an ambassador? and not gun running to Syria? I know, these are the ones that think groups of MAGA hat wearing racists are roaming the streets in subzero weather in Chicago, or idiots who thought trump said to inject yourself with bleach, there are so many to choose from, you will have to be more specific.
your comment is nothing but babbling.
Do you think QAnon is acceptable? Do you think a president of the United States associating himself with QAnon is acceptable ?
At least you have tried to narrow down the conspiracy groups, now a simple question, which group has done more to undermine the standing of the US and the peoples faith in the government, Qanon or the Russian conspiracy nut-balls?
“…a simple question, which group has done more to undermine the standing of the US and the peoples faith in the government, Qanon or the Russian conspiracy nut-balls?”
A simple answer.
The QAnon apologists, who in their minds believe trump will deliver on his mission, circumstances be damned.
They will never admit to affiliation with such idiocy, but the election results confirm it. The ‘Russian conspiracy nut-balls’ were not an empirical factor, just another convenient tool to disguise the fact some would have voted for this aberration regardless.
There are as many of those as there are people that watch MSNBC.
Who are these imaginary people? please be specific.
I think there's a documented sighting, the dude with the horns on J6. He's the only one that has ever been seen, he is a cult of 1.
If one of them got stolen or trafficked, I'd have to kill someone."
Gibson's rich enough. If he just actually followed through and killed the son of an Iowa silo operator in the name of some left wing talking point he'd have plenty of progressive supporters.
Trafficking children isn't really one of those things the party of Jay-Z and company seems to abhor.
If Gibson has a point to make, he can make it without attending a QAnon gala at the home of the incoming president. "Conservatives" seemingly approve of this insanity.
Mel has gone down a rabbit hole that he will never climb out of
If trump closes the border it is going to get tougher for them to find unattended children.
“If trump closes the border it is going to get tougher for them to find unattended children.”
Until inhumane policy once again separates thousands of children, through no fault of their own, from their parents.
No need to separate, deport them all together.
What about all the missing children that Biden has lost?
What about all the children that have been trafficked and abused by the cartels and "coyotes", thanks to Biden's open borders?
“No need to separate, deport them all together.”
A SCOTUS decision to be sure.
A decision that will determine if we accept our longstanding history or are we going to throw it all away in political expediency. Not too comfortable in even asking the question.
“What about…”
“What about…”
Biden is soon to be gone.
If this is the argument going forward, you fall into the trap that has hamstrung us for decades and will continue to do so until we are willing, ready, and able to have an adult, honest, and healthy discussion about a topic that requires the same.
Yes, if you don't care about child safety, it is much better if the president gives children to adults who aren't their parent.
I'm sure these kids that were raped are happy Obama didn't verify that those were their actual parents.

How dare trump make sure they are safe before giving them to adults.
“it is much better if the president gives children to adults who aren't their parent.”
Oh my. Have kiddos? Willing to have them taken away by anyone, much less an ideologue only interested in furthering an agenda of hate and division?
Be aware. Be wary. Be humane.
OMG
Now Jay-Z has something in common with Donald Trump, they both have been accused of raping 13 year olds.
" A woman who accused Donald Trump of raping her two decades ago when she was a 13-year-old aspiring teen model"

I wonder if they'll have to drop the case against Jay-Z due to lack of evidence like the case against Trump was eventually dropped since it happened so long ago. Of course, Trumpites will continue to claim Trump is innocent because the charges were dropped while continuing to claim Jay-Z must be guilty because conservatives are always "fair & balanced". /s
Perfect! This asshole has no idea what growing up lower middle class really is. And he ain't no fucking country boy. I doubt he knows which end to milk a cow
Gibson is a loon, has been for some time.
Just like many hollywoodites these days
And yet they seem to think we care what they think about politics or anything else.
Unfortunately it does matter to too many folks on the left.
I would say either side, i don't care if you are Bobby De Niro or Mel Gibson, just read your lines and keep your opinions to yourself.
“And yet they seem to think we care what they think about politics or anything else.”
Thus defining the conundrum we face.
When disparate views are so summarily dismissed, we miss the opportunity to form a consensus, much less engage in a constructive conversation or understand the importance of conciliatory compromise.
Carry on in dismissing this opinion as well, only confirming the premise.
If they don't care about what we think why do they continue to argue with us?
One can care about others opinions and disagree with them at the same time.
Doing two things at the same time as it were.
I take great pleasure in waving goodbye to butthurt actors.
Uh ….. buh bye!
