This month, country music star Jason Aldean released a new song called Try That in a Small Town.
Shortly after its release, the song went viral and reached the top of the charts. However, leftists criticized Aldean, accusing him of promoting racism and glorifying past lynchings of African-Americans.
In response to these allegations, Aldean issued a statement denying any racist intentions and clarifying that Try That in a Small Town is about a close-knit community supporting one another.
Now, rock star Ted Nugent is defending Aldean’s new song, as reported by Fox News.
Setting the Record Straight
During a recent interview, Nugent emphasized that critics labeling Aldean’s hit song as racist are spreading lies. Nugent stated that the song actually condemns violence and promotes self-defense.

Before describing Aldean’s critics as “weird” and soulless, Nugent also mentioned that Democrats often get these issues wrong.
Nugent’s defense of Try That in a Small Town has garnered support from conservatives, who are standing behind Aldean and his song.
Pushing Back Against Leftist Criticism
Associating racism with small towns is a common tactic used by left-wingers. However, a careful listening of Aldean’s lyrics will reveal that the allegations of promoting violence or lynchings are baseless.
On social media, Aldean continues to promote his new hit and express gratitude to his millions of fans for their support.
Jason, I looked up the lyrics. I’ve spent most of my life in a small town, one in Michigan, one in Kentucky, and one in Florida. I recognize exactly what you are saying. We look out for one another. Some people don’t understand that sense of community and, frankly, I feel sorry…
