  • When asked to make a birthday wish on stage during a live performance he joked “Don’t miss trump next time”. Because of the comedic nature of the show and the political right’s famously thick skin (compared to the snowflakes on the left) the joke was taken in good stride and nothing else of note happened.

    Of course that’s bullshit. Right leaning news-entertainment media lost their collective minds that someone would dare say something so heartless about a poor disenfranchised millionaire manchild. And (I’m severely paraphrasing here) that instead of making terrible remarks about the lord and saviour/second coming of Jesus you should save the hateful rhetoric for minorities and the chosen hated religious groups.

    My understanding is that Kyle essentially lost his career over the remark (cancel culture’s out of control!!) and Jack Black distanced himself from Kyle and they cancelled the rest of their tour.
