Tenacious D, the notorious comedy rock duo featuring Jack Black and Kyle Gass, have sparked outrage down under with a controversial joke about Donald Trump that has led to calls for their deportation from Australia. The pair were performing at the ICC Sydney Theatre on Saturday when they made a distasteful quip regarding the suspected assassination attempt on the former US President . Celebrating Kyle's 64th birthday on stage, Jack prompted him to "Make a wish," to which Kyle responded with the shocking remark: "Don't miss Trump next time.
" While the audience erupted into laughter, the joke did not sit well with everyone, particularly Australian federal senator Ralph Babet who has taken swift action against the band. In a stern letter, Senator Babet demanded the immediate expulsion of Tenacious D from Australian shores, stating: "Tenacious D should be immediately removed from the country after wishing for the assassination of Donald Trump at their Sydney concert,". He further condemned the act, saying: "I condemn in the strongest possible way the call to political violence by Tenacious D in Sydney on Sunday.
To advocate and or wish for the assassination of a President is egregious, disgusting, filthy, evil, and not acceptable in any way, shape or form.", reports the Mirror US . Babet emphasized the gravity of the situation, adding: "This was not a joke, he was deadly serious when he wished for the death of the President.
Anything less than deportation is an endorsement of the.
