Jack Black announced on Instagram that he’s cancelled the rest of the Tenacious D world tour and placed future projects on hiatus.

This happened after his bandmate Kyle Gass sparked controversy by commenting on the recent Donald Trump assassination attempt.

At their recent Sydney show, Kyle Gass was given a birthday cake and asked to make a wish for his 64th birthday, to which he said “Don’t miss Trump next time.”

In his later statement, Black said he was “blindsided” by his bandmate’s comment and condemned any calls for political violence.

He probably doesn’t want to get shot.

Most of the western world fought back against the Nazis in WWII for the very reason that fascism is deeply hostile to a healthy democracy and a free society.

Kyle was right: we didn’t teach our soldiers to miss back then, so there is no excuse to miss now.

Tbf, there was a WWII instructional film that taught “how to get killed”, but that was sarcastic (and about the Pacific theater)

Was a right wing idiot, listening to right wing hate and violence, who took a shot at a right wing idol.

Theres nothing “ours” or “soldier” about it.

The last thing we need is this piece of shit to become a martyr. Let him go down beaten by a black woman at the polls, like the loser he is.

At this point Trump being shot is the best thing that could happen to the Republican party. And I wish them only the worst.

I assume Jack and his team probably started recieving threats from the crowd that shot at Trump (republicans).

I guess attempting to kill and joking about killing Trump is a privilege that only republicans enjoy

TBH I don’t give a single solitary fuck who Republicans think or don’t think is allowed to do anything. That doesn’t mean Jack Black has to risk his life over some ha has.

Oh Kyle, why did you say that? If you say your birthday wish out loud it won’t come true!
