Australian Senator Ralph Babet has called for the deportation of comedy rock band Tenacious D after member Kyle Gass made a joke about an assassination attempt on Donald Trump during a Sydney performance. Babet, leader of the United Australia Party, urged the immigration minister to revoke the band's visas, claiming the comment was not a joke and endorsing violence. Tenacious D still has four tour dates left in Australia. Babet, who has previously opposed censorship, has been involved in controversy for sharing graphic footage against court orders.
