Tenacious D’s Kyle Gass Deletes Instagram Apology Post About Trump Assassination Remarks

A look at Kyle Gass’s apology for the Trump assassination attempt remark

I deeply regret the incident that unfolded on stage during my performance in Sydney last Sunday. The words that came out of me were inappropriate, dangerous, and a grave error in judgment. I want to make it clear that I unequivocally condemn any form of violence or harm inflicted upon others.

After an Australian politician proposed their expulsion, an apology from Gass emerged. Yet, it seems that his apology post has now been taken down.

After the uproar over Trump’s comments, Gass’s band decided to call off the rest of their tour. Joining him on stage at the time was Jack Black, who later expressed his disapproval of Gass’s remarks through an Instagram post. Not only did they cancel the remaining shows in Australia and New Zealand, but they also suspended all future collaborative projects. The band had planned to perform six more shows Down Under before touring North America in October.

Other celebrities who reacted to the attempted assassination of Donald Trump

Notable figures in Hollywood such as 50 Cent, M.I.A, Kid Rock, and Freddie Gibbs have spoken out against the assassination attempt on the businessman-turned-politician, Donald Trump. Last weekend, Trump managed to avoid harm when a bullet meant for him missed and hit his left ear instead. Secret Service agents swiftly apprehended the 20-year-old would-be assassin.

On the topic of American politics, an intriguing headline surfaced on July 21, as Joe Biden made two significant announcements: first, his decision to withdraw from the presidential race, and second, his selection of Vice President Kamala Harris to take over the candidacy for him.
