Jack Black has said he’s cancelled the rest of the Tenacious D world tour after his bandmate Kyle Gass sparked an outcry with a comment about the assassination attempt on Donald Trump.

The comedy rock group were on stage in Sydney, Australia, on Sunday when Gass was asked to make a wish after being presented with a cake for his 64th birthday.

He appeared to reply: “Don’t miss Trump next time.”

Gass also split with his agent following the incident.

      I don’t want a system that allows political violence. However, I would not have been upset if they were successful in this case.

        Exactly.

        Trump has promoted enough violence and the Republicans have put up enough barriers to holding him accountable that we are on the precipice of a fascist toyalitarian regime. Since SCOTUS has made putting him in jail impossible for the forseeable future, his death is the second best option and I am disappointed that someone from his own side failed.

      We fight evil. But not with death camps. We don’t use their methods.

      Is that so hard to understand?

        It isn’t hard since I am only supporting violence as a defense to violence. The leap to death camps doesn’t fit in there anywhere.

        Try to keep up.

          Political violence.

          A whole different ball of wax.

          Hey I won’t be continuing this back and forth with you because I’m pretty sure you’re not the type who will ever agree with me. So have a nice day.
