Country Music Television Pulls Song "Try That In a Small Town" From Its Rotation, Because The Song Criticizes Antifa and BLM Rioters

I think it's time to make conservatives' divorce from the liberal, woke, cowardly corporate class final and irrevocable.

Jason Aldean is defending his new controversial song and music video that was pulled by CMT, calling claims made against the track "not only meritless, but dangerous."

After Aldean released "Try That In a Small Town" in May and its accompanying music video on Friday, it was criticized for promoting gun violence and taking aim at the Black Lives Matter movement.

The track features the lyrics: "Cuss out a cop, spit in his face/Stomp on the flag and light it up/Yeah, ya think you're tough/Well, try that in a small town/See how far ya make it down the road." Aldean later sings on the song, "Got a gun that my granddad gave me/They say one day they're gonna round up/Well, that shit might fly in the city, good luck."

The music video features the burning of the American flag, protests, looting and more. CMT, which is dedicated to country music videos, pulled the clip from its rotation on Monday.

Aldean denied the allegations against his song in a tweet on Tuesday.

"In the past 24 hours I have been accused of releasing a pro-lynching song ... 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," he wrote. "There is not a single lyric in the song that references race or points to it- and there isn't a single video clip that isn't real news footage -and while I can try and respect others to have their own interpretation of a song with music- this one goes too far."

Our Corporate Masters have decided that there is only one permissible attitude about antifa/BLM rioting, arson, and murder, and that permissible attitude is Ecstatic Praise.
