We’ve previously reported that country singer Jason Aldean’s song “Try That in a Small Town” has risen to number one on the charts, causing liberals to explode. Many of them have cried racism and claimed the song is pro-lynching.
The song is currently #1 on iTunes’ “Top Songs” Chart. Ha!
Country Music Television (CMT), however, doesn’t seem to care about its popularity and has removed the song from the rotation. They’re censoring the song.
Clay Travis, a radio host, called the action “pathetic”.
CMT canceled @Jason_Aldean’s new video. Pathetic. I teed off with @JesseBWatters tonight. The city of Nashville, my hometown, should embrace all songs, @taylorswift13 or @Jason_Aldean. Enjoy: pic.twitter.com/KLBFT50B5G

The video features Aldean’s group playing in front of a montage containing news footage about the George Floyd/BLM protests.
Aldean tweeted Tuesday that he vehemently denied the song is racist or an invitation to lynching.
In the last 24 hours, I was accused of releasing an anti-lynching track (a song that has been available since May), and I was compared to someone who (quote) wasn’t too happy with the BLM nationwide protests. These references are not just unjustified, but also dangerous. The song does not mention race in any way. There are no video clips that don’t show real news footage.
You can read his entire statement below:
In the past 24 hours I have been accused of releasing a pro-lynching song (a song that has been out since May) and was subject to the comparison that I (direct quote) was not too pleased with the nationwide BLM protests. These references are not only meritless, but dangerous.…

The song’s popularity is due to the fact that it shows the hypocrisy displayed by our leaders in the summer 2020 Riots. They told us to remain inside for safety from COVID unless we were rioting or destroying property.
Since then, there has been a liberal meltdown of two and a half years over the “insurrection” on Jan. 6, with hundreds of participants in jail, but it appears that virtually no one faced legal consequences for summer 2020 outbursts.
Truthfully, the 2020 riots lasted much longer, caused more damage, and killed and injured many more people than the attack on the 2021 capitol. People are still angry.
The location of the video in front of Maury County courthouse in Columbia, Tennessee is what the outrage mob has been focusing on. This is where Henry Choate was lynched in 1927. TackleBox, which produced the video, stated that the location was a “popular location outside of Nashville”, and that Aldean had not chosen it.
Celebrities, politicians and everyone else has their opinion on the song. (NSFW language ahead.) Roseanne Barr and Sheryl Crow, the singer and comedian, are in a heated argument.
@Jason_Aldean’s Next song should be about virtue signaling white women freaking out over a country song while blasting gangster rap in their luxury SUV’s as they drop their kids off at schools where furry children shit in litter boxes. https://t.co/DWzG9AunID

Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders stated what many of us thought, that the Left always seems to have their priorities muddled:
The Left is now more concerned about @Jason_Aldean’s song calling out looters and criminals than they are about stopping looters and criminals.
That tells you everything you need to know about the priorities of Democrats and woke companies like CMT that cave to the liberal mob. https://t.co/ctYP7FRxrv

CMT is Big Media, not Big Tech, Big Corporate, or the Federal Government. Truthfully, they seem to all be one giant at this point telling us what we should think and how to think.
CMT, like Bud Light and Target, is learning that people are tired of being told they have to deny the truth and follow the progressive narrative. We will listen to the song, whether people like it or dislike it.
It’s time to crank it up!
Jason Aldean just released an absolutely epic music video for the song “Try That In a Small Town” that rips into the left-wing riots, soft on crime governance in cities, gun control, and other leftist degradation. pic.twitter.com/dUYzGbnvc6
