Tenacious D, the band fronted by Jack Black of Kung Fu Panda fame, made fun of Donald Trump on Sunday, the day after the former president was shot but managed to escape, with one of their members yelling out “Don’t miss Trump next time” during the band’s performance.
Video footage from Sunday’s performance shows that when playing in Sydney, Australia, Tenacious D made the offensive remark while onstage. Although some sources have named band member Kyle Gass as the one who made the comment, the exact identity of the speaker is still unknown.
There is a criminal offense against wishing for the assassination of a United States president.
Joe Biden’s Hollywood fundraiser in June featured performances by Jack Black, George Clooney, Julia Roberts, and others. Black portrays the title character in the DreamWorks Animation Kung Fu Panda movies.
Jack Black reportedly performed for the Democratic crowd at June’s Hollywood fundraiser, according to Breitbart News. He was wearing a “Dark Brandon” tee.
Clooney recently asked Biden to get down from the race following his embarrassing debate performance, reversing his earlier backing of the vice president.
If you remember, in 2020, Jack Black wasn’t even a Biden supporter.
The actor spoke out against Trump with his band, claiming he intended to “save the globe from Trumpian ruin.” He also backed Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA). But Democratic establishment figures rigged the 2020 race to eliminate any challenger to Biden, and Black bowed to their pressure.

Hollywood celebrities have often fantasized about physically harming the 45th president and engaging in violent discourse in the years after his political rise to power.
