Jack Black said he has put all future creative plans on hold after Tenacious D bandmate Kyle Gass made a controversial comment about the Trump rally shooting.
Actor Jack Black has canceled upcoming tour dates for Tenacious D after his bandmate, Kyle Gass, made a controversial comment about Donald Trump during a show in Australia — a comment that led one politician to call for the deportation of the comedy rock duo.In a statement shared on social media, Black said he was blindsided by Gass' comment about the shooting at Trump's Butler, Pennsylvania, rally on Saturday.
'Tenacious D should be immediately removed from the country after wishing for the assassination of Donald Trump at their Sydney concert,' Sen. Ralph Babet said in a statement. Babet condemned the call for political violence, saying what Gass said was not a joke. 'To advocate and or wish for the assassination of a president is egregious, disgusting, filthy, evil, and not acceptable in any way, shape or form,' Babet said.
