Jack Black has suspended Tenacious D’s tour, a decision made in response to an offensive comment made by Kyle Gass, the other member of the duo, during a performance in Sydney. Gass’s comment seemed to endorse the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump, sparking controversy.
“Don’t miss Trump next time,” referring to the failed assassination of 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks at a rally for the former president.
