    My recollection of the situation is hazy but my understanding is they basically did a performative distancing until the heat died down and they’re still good behind the scenes. My understanding is they even started performing together again.

        The reaction to the joke in Australia was extreme, with Australian federal senator Ralph Babet calling for the band to be deported.

        Proving once again that Australia is not a real country just a vassal state for the US

        Also fuck this libbed up clown. Trump incites so much hate and political violence.

        Yeah I’m a bit too naive maybe but even at the time I couldn’t imagine him actually throwing Kyle under the bus. So it always read to me like Jack was trying to make sure some MAGA psycho didn’t come shoot a bunch of people at one of their shows and he didn’t actually have a real problem with what Kyle said. I’m glad they are actually back performing together.

          Even the statement he released at the time sounded more like “I’m sorry he said it out loud, please don’t send neo-cons to shoot up our concerts.”

            That’s what it sounded like to me too. Like I said maybe I’m being naive and being too charitable but I don’t think I am.
