Son of Black Sabbath’s Ozzy Osbourne, Jack Osbourne has publicly declared his support for Trump in the upcoming election.
In the latest “The Osbournes” podcast, Jack shared, “But I got to say it’s probably not going to be a popular statement amongst mainstream, but, like, I’m voting for him after that.”
In the podcast, Ozzy couldn’t quite believe it when he got news of Trump’s shooting. When I first heard about it, I thought, ‘It’s not real. It’s not for real.’ And thank God the guy was a bad shot.”
“But he killed a man,” the singer lamented, in regards to Corey Comperatore, the local firefighter shot and killed by the gunman.
“Heartbreaking,” Sharon added, while Kelly chimed in, “Horrible, the innocent people that got hurt and killed.”
Comperatore died in a matter of minutes, and the family said they were also stunned that security lapses left three other people shot.
The family, who got together later sharing their thoughts on Trump’s response to the shooting, remembered seeing him hit the deck with gunfire but pop back up and tell his rally goers to “Fight! Fight!”
In reference to Trump’s response, Sharon, Ozzy Osbourne’s wife, added that “He’s as strong as an ox.”
“Yes,” her son agreed, adding, “But I look at it like this, a president should be a leader, a president should be strong, a president should be able to kind of walk through anything. He gets shot in the ear, stands up, raises his fist while they’re trying to drag him off the stage. He doesn’t want to leave the stage.”
He continued, “I’m like, OK, like he might not be totally full of s— because someone who’s full of s— if they get shot, the f—ing facade fades real quick, and you start seeing someone’s true colors.”
This is a stark departure from comments made by Jack in the past about Trump.
“I was like, ‘OK, dude, you need to get slapped,” Osbourne said during an interview in 2015.
