Jack Black’s Tenacious D Sparks Uproar After Kyle Gass Remarks, ‘Don’t Miss Trump Next Time’
variety.comThania Garcia Tenacious D’s Kyle Gass is under fire after making a controversial comment about the attempted assassination of Donald Trump.
On July 14, just one day after Trump was hit by a bullet at a rally in Butler, Pa., Tenacious D — a rock duo comprised of Gass and actor Jack Black — played a show in Australia’s ICC Sydney Theatre where they simultaneously celebrated Gass’ 64th birthday.
