Fans lashed out at Country Music Television, after it pulled singer Jason Aldean's "Try That in a Small Town" music video this week following accusations it was racist.
Aldean had enraged liberal activists with the new music video, which has anti-crime, pro-law enforcement themes and tells criminals that their behavior won't be tolerated in rural America. The music video plays footage from left-wing riots and smash-and-grab robberies. Activists accused the song of being racist and promoting violence.
"Yeah, ya think you're tough? Well, try that in a small town, see how far ya make it down the road. Around here, we take care of our own, you cross that line, it won't take long for you to find out, I recommend you don't," Aldean sings in the video.
CMT confirmed it pulled the music video off the air Monday, angering Aldean fans and free speech advocates.
"UNBELIEVABLE - CMT just CANCELLED this music video by Jason Aldean about the Antifa-BLM riots SO THE CMT HAS GONE WOKE," one Twitter user reacted.
Another slammed the network for censoring the singer, drawing attention to other musical artists whose songs are allowed to stay on the air despite having explicit themes.
"CMT is censoring Jason Aldean’s new music video ‘Try that in a Small Town,' he said. "Most mainstream artists promote drugs, gangs, violence, and sleeping around Jason says ‘hey let’s not rob old ladies and burn down cities’ and CMT bans his video. Screw @CMT."
Radio host Dana Loesch agreed there was nothing controversial about the video.

Paramount is the parent company.
“Activists accused the song of being racist and promoting violence.”
Yeah, the billions of dollars of damage caused by insane black nationalists, racists, and separatists plus antifa can be ignored because those riots were mostly peaceful. Nobody “promoted” that REAL violence...it just happened spontaneously.
But let a country star sing about law & order in NORMAL AMERICA, and those libs get their panties in a big twist.
The hypocrisy is at 11.
Indeed.
“The hypocrisy is at 11.”
The hypocrisy is ongoing and at every hour...
since the Marxists seized and stole control.
CM is infested with woke a-holes like Garth and Paisley. These God and Country frauds need to be exposed. Especially the ones that have a high TV presence. Never Trumpers every one of them. They all got in line to perform at Traitor Joe’s inauguration while refusing Trump’s.
They've been woke, just trying to hide it.
Time to go all Bud Light on CMT. Teach them that being political has consequences.
They gonna regret that stance........
On a scale of 1 to 100...this is 100!!!
Good.
Time to bud lite ‘em.
Give cmt no quarter. Destroy it.
I’d stop watching but remembered I never watched CMT.
Communist Music for Transgenders (CMT) learns nothing from Bud Light.
This is what happens when you try to cancel a good guy....

Ever scene on that vid was probably on netwoke news... or perhaps not!
Hey CMT, remember what happened to Disney!
The people in charge of “country music” hate the fans of the genre.
