Jack Black's Tenacious D bandmate makes vile concert outburst about Trump shooting
Jack Black's bandmate made a tasteless comment about the assassination attempt against Donald Trump just hours after the former president was nearly shot dead in Pennsylvania.
The actor's comedy band Tenacious D was on stage in Sydney, Australia, on Sunday when Black brought a birthday cake for bandmate Kyle Gass and asked him to make a wish.
Gass, 64, replied: 'Don’t miss Trump next time.'
The crowd mostly responded with cheering and laughing, with just a few disappointed reactions.
Last month, Black, 54, delivered a speech at a star-studded fundraiser in Los Angeles for president Joe Biden, where he said 'democracy was at stake' in November.

The event, which raised more than $30million, was also attended by former president Barack Obama, George Clooney, Julia Roberts and Barbra Streisand.
Black has joked in the past that Trump, like his band, believes they are 'the greatest' in the world, as reported by Yahoo! News.
He told Conan O’Brien in 2017: 'Now, when we go out and perform Tenacious D, I always have like, a little twinge of guilt, because it’s like this evil f***ing warlock stole our magic, but just took out all the irony. And it worked and now he’s destroying the universe.'
Many on social media have taken issue with Gass' comments, arguing it was too soon to joke about the attempted assassination of Trump.
X user Collin Rugg said: 'Maybe, just maybe, these people are actually the evil ones.'

Ring-wing commentator Charlie Kirk added: 'These people are more twisted and vile than we realized. And shame on all of the people in the crowd who thought this "joke" was funny.'
Black and his band are currently on Spicy Meatball Tour, which kicked off in May and is set to wrap on July 26, 2024.
In the wake of the shooting that killed one spectator on Saturday, investigators were hunting for any clues about what may have drove Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, to carry out the shocking attack.
The FBI said they were investigating it as a potential act of domestic terrorism , but the absence of a clear ideological motive by the man shot dead by the Secret Service led conspiracy theories to flourish.
The FBI said it believes Crooks, who had bomb-making materials in the car he drove to the rally, acted alone.

Investigators have found no threatening comments on social media accounts or ideological positions that could help explain what led him to target Trump .
Trump said on social media the upper part of his right ear was pierced in the shooting.
But advisers said he was 'great spirits' ahead of his arrival Sunday in Milwaukee for the Republican National Convention.
Two spectators were critically injured, while a former fire chief from the area, Corey Comperatore was killed.
Pennsylvania’s governor said Comperatore, 50, died a hero by diving onto his family to protect them.
