Australian Senator Ralph Babet expressed his opinion on the social network X, calling for Tenacious D’s deportation. “I demand that Prime Minister Anthony Albanese join me in condemning Tenacious D, Jack Black, and band member Kyle Gass”.

In an Instagram post, Jack Black expressed regret over the situation. “I would never support hate speech or encourage political violence in any way”, said Black.

Kyle Gass also apologized on Instagram. “The line I improvised on stage on Sunday night in Sydney was highly inappropriate, dangerous, and a terrible mistake”, wrote Gass.

Donald Trump survived an assassination attempt during a rally in Pennsylvania (USA) on Saturday (13). He suffered several gunshot wounds, one of which hit his ear. The shooter was killed by Secret Service agents.
