Jack Black’s comedy rock band Tenacious D has sparked outrage and had a show in Australia postponed after band member Kyle Gass made an apparent joke about Saturday’s assassination attempt on former US President Donald Trump.
Footage posted on social media from the band’s concert in Sydney on Sunday showed Black presenting Gass with a birthday cake onstage and telling him to “make a wish.” Gass responded: “Don’t miss Trump next time.” An Australian lawmaker called for them to be deported after video emerged of the exchange.
” “I call on the prime minister Anthony Albanese to join me in denouncing Tenacious D, Jack Black and band member Kyle Gass, and I call on the immigration minister Andrew Giles to revoke their visas and deport them immediately,” Babet said on Tuesday. “Anything less than a deportation is an endorsement of the shooting and the attempted assassination of Donald J Trump,” he said. Australian radio host Kyle Sandilands also criticized the band.
