D tenacious Kyle Gass put himself in the proverbial line of fire to make a joke about the attempt assassination of Donald Trump.

The rock duo, formed by Gass and Jack Black54, was performing at the ICC Sydney theater in Australia on Sunday, the day after Trump, 78, he 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 images.

“Don't miss Trump next time,” Gass replied.

The audience laughed at Gass's comment.

However, the comment was not so well received online. Fans took to X (formerly Twitter) to bash Gass and defend the former president.

“Extremely poor taste,” one person he tweeted.

“Any part of his career left is probably over now,” another tweet to read.

A different fan he said, “Shameful.”

“Deplorable and indefensible,” someone else he tweeted.

The gunman who tried to assassinate Trump was identified as Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, of Bethel Park, Pennsylvania. He crawled onto the roof of a manufacturing plant more than 130 meters from the stage at the Butler Farm Show grounds.

Crooks was shot and killed by Secret Service snipers. On Monday, Trump made his first public appearance since the attempted GOP convention in Milwaukee. His right ear was wrapped in a bandage. He was joined by his new running mate, Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio).

Black addressed the Tenacious D controversy in a statement to The Post, revealing that the band is postponing the rest of its shows at its “Spicy Meatball Tour.”

“I was blindsided by what was said on Sunday's show,” Black said in his statement. “I would never condone hate speech or encourage political violence in any form.”

“After much consideration, I no longer believe it is appropriate to continue the Tenacious D tour, and all future creative plans are on hold. I am grateful to the fans for their support and understanding.”

Gas, on the other hand, issued an apology on Instagram for your comment.

“The line I improvised on stage on Sunday night in Sydney was very inappropriate, dangerous and a terrible mistake.” Gass said. “I do not condone violence of any kind, in any form, against anyone. What happened was a tragedy, and I am sorry for my lack of judgment. I deeply apologize to those I have let down and truly regret any pain I may have caused.”

Senator Ralph Babet, a member of the right-wing United Australia Party, condemned Gass's comment and called for the two gang members to be “immediately deported”.

“Tenacious D should be immediately removed from the country after wishing for the assassination of Donald Trump at his concert in Sydney,” Babet said. statement read.

“I condemn in the strongest possible terms Tenacious D's call for political violence in Sydney on Sunday,” the 41-year-old politician continued. “Advocating and/or wishing for the assassination of a president is egregious, disgusting, gross, evil and not acceptable in any way, shape or form. This was not a joke, I was very serious when I wished for the death of the president.”

“Anything short of deportation is an endorsement of the shooting and attempted assassination of Donald J. Trump,” Babet said.

Following the backlash, Tenacious D initially postponed only his sold-out show in Newcastle, Australia, which was scheduled for July 16.

The postponement was announced by Frontier Touring, the group's production company “Spicy Meatball Tour.”

“Frontier Touring regrets to inform you that Tenacious D's concert tonight at the Newcastle Entertainment Center has been postponed,” the company said. he wrote on Instagram. “Ticket holders are asked to hold onto their tickets until further information is available.”

Black is an outspoken supporter of President Biden. The “School of Rock” actor gave a speech at a star-studded fundraiser for Biden's re-election campaign in Los Angeles last month.

Former President Barack Obama, Jimmy Kimmel, George Clooney and Julia Roberts also took part in the event, which raised more than $30 million.

In his speechBlack, wearing what he called “American flag overalls,” joked as he stood proudly for Biden, 81, in front of the 2024 presidential election.

“And when the president wins in November, yes! — I'm pretty sure I'll get a sweet shout-out in his victory speech for what I gave up to be here,” Black said. “Because when democracy is on the line, Jack Black answers the call. Mr. President, welcome.”

Last week, Clooney, 63, wrote an op-ed published in the New York Times about that same fundraiser, calling for Biden to resign and end his campaign for re-election.

“I love Joe Biden. As a senator. As vice president and as president. I consider him a friend, and I believe in him. I believe in his character. I believe in his morals,” he wrote. “It's devastating to say, but the Joe Biden I was with three weeks ago at the fundraiser was not the 'big deal' Joe Biden of 2010. He wasn't even the Joe Biden of 2020. He was the same. man we all witnessed in the debate.”

“We're not going to win in November with this president,” Clooney continued. “This is not just my opinion; that's the opinion of every senator and congressman and governor I've spoken to privately. Everyone, regardless of what they say publicly.”
