Australia’s Former Prime Minister Says Tenacious D Needs to ‘Grow Up’ Following Trump Remarks


Former Australian Prime Minister and current U.S. Ambassador Kevin Rudd has responded to Tenacious D following Kyle Gass's joke about Donald Trump.

Ambassador Kevin Rudd has delivered a scathing rebuke to comedy rock duo Tenacious D following Kyle Gass’s controversial joke about the recent assassination attempt on Donald Trump. The controversy began during Tenacious D’s Sydney show on July 14 when Gass, presented with a birthday cake for his 64th celebration, said “Don’t miss Trump next time” after bandmate Jack Black asked him to make a wish. Bandmate Jack Black, claiming to be “blindsided” by the comment, announced the cancellation of the remainder of their Australian tour and put all future creative plans on hold.
