Calls To Boycott Jack Black Explode After Bandmate Wishes For Trump’s Murder

Tenacious D, a longtime bandmate of actor Jack Black, is in the proverbial crosshairs of activists upset over a recent statement calling for former President Donald Trump to be murdered.

Kyle Gass, who has been Black’s bandmate dating back to 1994, was caught on camera during a recent concert in Sydney where he thanked the crowd for celebrating his birthday and made a wish that any potential assassin who takes up arms against Trump doesn’t miss their target.

“Make a wish,” Black said as he presented Gass with a birthday cake on stage. Gass then responded: “Don’t miss Trump next time.” The crowd laughed approvingly at his remark.

The video caught the eye of X owner Elon Musk who quickly endorsed President Trump just hours after he was grazed by a bullet from the shooter’s AR-15 rifle.

Black, a proud Biden supporter, last posted on X his endorsement of the incumbent Democrat, posting a video of his remarks at a Hollywood fundraiser hosted by George Clooney and Julia Roberts. “I’m pretty sure I’m gonna get a sweet shoutout in his victory speech for what I gave up to be here!” said Black as he sported American flag overalls. “Because when democracy is at stake, Jack Black answers the call!”

Working together, allies of Trump have compiled an exhaustive list of celebrities and Democrats who have wished death upon Trump at some point or another since he arrived on the scene in 2016. Most infamously, comedian Kathy Griffin was canceled in 2017 after she posed for a photograph of a bloody prop Trump head, but many outrageous statements since then have been ignored or brushed aside as hyperbole.

Last June, U.S. Delegate Stacey Plaskett (D-Virgin Islands), speaking on The Sunday Show, was nearly finished sharing her thoughts about the ongoing classified documents case against the former president when she said the latest developments “should be terrifying to all Americans, and [Trump] needs to be shot,” quickly correcting herself to stay “stopped.”

However, the unfortunate timing of Tenacious D’s latest death threat has put the band at the epicenter of recriminations about the tenor of discourse in American politics as activists on the right and left seek to diagnose what led to 20-year-old Thomas Crooks attempting to take Trump’s life.

“The people who claim to be moral and empathetic are currently celebrating an assa*sination attempt on a president,” wrote Rugg, prompting others to chime in with their agreement. “It’s insane to see all this unfolding right before our eyes,” wrote one follower. “They’ve dialed UP the rhetoric,” added another.

President Biden on Sunday attempted to reset the narrative around Democrats’ vitriol toward his opponent, saying from the Oval Office that Americans need to “bring the temperature down” this election season. “Politics must never be a literal battlefield,” Biden said, “God forbid – a killing field,” in remarks noted by Fox News.

Rather than refrain from campaigning, President Trump has emerged more ready to fight than ever before. Speaking on Monday with the New York Post, he credited his Secret Service protection with saving his life and later told Fox News’ Bret Baier that he is set to announce his pick for vice president later in the day.
