Amid Outrage And Calls For Deportation, Jack Black Cancels Australian Tour After Bandmate Wishes Trump Dead<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Weeks after musician and actor Jack Black appeared at Joe Biden’s Hollywood fundraiser to tell people “democracy is at stake,” he’s canceled the rest of his Australian tour<\/strong> after bandmate Kyle Gass said on Sunday that his birthday wish would be “don’t miss Trump next time.<\/strong>“<\/p>\n

BREAKING: Jack Black and Tenacious D are halting all future shows after bandmate Kyle Gass said on stage he wishes Trump was shot and k*lled.<\/p>\n

In a new statement, Black says he was blindsided by the statement and was postponing shows.<\/p>\n

“I would never condone hate speech or encourage political violence in any form,” Black said. “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.<\/strong>“<\/p>\n

Blindsided, you say?<\/p>\n

Australians were outraged at Gass’s comment<\/strong> – with senator Ralph Babet demanding that the pair be deported<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

“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<\/strong>,” Babet said on Tuesday. “Anything less than a deportation is an endorsement of the shooting and the attempted assassination of Donald J Trump,” he continued, adding that allowing the band to remain in Australia was “unthinkable.”<\/p>\n

Who\u2019d a thought we\u2019d be looking to Australia for actual leadership in this world\u2026 but here we are.<\/p>\n

This is what responsible leadership looks like.<\/p>\n

If immediate action is not taken by the sitting government to remove these reprobates from our country, it is yet another stain on our failing reputation and a continued diminution of our moral values.<\/p>\n

No-one should argue against\u2026<\/p>\n

Of course, it doesn’t take a NASA scientist to figure out why Black actually canceled the tour<\/strong>…<\/p>\n

I have serious doubts the comment bothered him at all, the backlash bothered him.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m glad it shut the slime balls down.<\/p>\n

People like Kyle Gass are the problem…<\/p>\n
