Far-left and Joe Biden backer Jack Black has abruptly canceled his ongoing tour with the rock band Tenacious D following a controversy that erupted after his bandmate made an outrageous comment about former President Donald Trump.
The Gateway Pundit previously reported that Jack Black is facing major backlash after his bandmate said, “Don’t miss Trump next time” while on stage at a concert in Sydney, Australia.
Black’s bandmate made the sickening comment just hours after the attempted assassination of President Donald Trump at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
In a video of the concert, Black is seen giving his Tenacious D band member Kyle Gass a birthday cake during their concert at the ICC Sydney Theatre.
Black tells Gass to “make a wish.”
Gass proceeded to wish, “Don’t miss Trump next time.”
Some members of the crowd reacted with “ohs,” while others laughed.
The repercussions were swift. Ralph Babet, an Australian Senator and Leader of the United Australia Party, has called for the immediate deportation of Tenacious D, condemning the remark as insensitive and inappropriate given the serious nature of the referenced event.
In response to the growing backlash, Jack Black issued a statement:
I was blindsided by what was said at the show on Sunday. I would never condone hate speech or encourage political violence in any form.
After much reflection, I no longer feel it is appropriate to continue the Tenacious D tour, and all future creative plans are on hold. I am grateful to the fans for their support and understanding.
