Jack Black addresses Tenacious D bandmate’s ‘shameful’ comment about Trump assassination attempt

Tenacious D’s Kyle Gass put himself in the proverbial line of fire for making a joke about the attempted assassination of Donald Trump.

The rock duo, comprised of Gass and Jack Black, 54, was performing at the ICC Sydney Theatre in Australia on Sunday, the day after Trump, 78, was shot in the ear at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

Black brought out a birthday cake for Gass, who turned 64 that day, and asked him to “make a wish,” as seen in fan footage.

the United States has become a place where entertainers, media personalities, and perfessional athletes are mistaken for people of importance.
I've needed a doctor....
I've needed a teacher...
I need farmers everyday....
I need trucks everyday....
I have needed a mechanic, a plumber, a housr painter, and alot of everyday persons.
But i have NEVER, not even once, needed a pro athlete, a media personality, or a Hollywood entertainer for anything!
