Actor and comedian Jack Black is facing major backlash after his bandmate made a controversial comment during a concert in Sydney, Australia.
Jack’s bandmate made the sickening comment, “Don’t miss Trump next time,” the day after the attempted assassination of President Trump at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
In a video from the concert, Black is seen presenting his Tenacious D bandmate Kyle Gass with a birthday cake during their performance at the ICC Sydney Theatre. Black then tells Gass to “make a wish.”
Gass’s wish was, “Don’t miss Trump next time.”
The crowd reacts with laughter and applause.

Obviously, disappointed that the first attempt failed, they are now openly inciting another attempt on Trump’s life.
From Yahoo News:
Comedian Jack Black’s bandmate has been accused of telling a ‘bad joke’ on stage in Sydney on Sunday night just hours after the attempted assassination of former US president Donald Trump.
Black is seen presenting his Tenacious D band member Kyle Gass with a birthday cake during their performance at the ICC Sydney Theatre in footage shared with Yahoo News.
“Make a wish,” he urges, with Gass then seen blowing out the candles and says in a hushed tone, “Don’t miss Trump next time” — causing the crowd to erupt. While some are heard laughing and clapping, others are less impressed.
“You could hear a couple of ‘oohhs’ — like too soon sort of vibes — but the vast majority was laughter,” one audience member told Yahoo News. Several fans have praised Gass’s comment, while others online have criticised the band, calling it a “bad joke”.
A month ago, Jack was a guest of honor and featured speaker at Biden’s fundraiser in Los Angeles.
