"Controversy Surrounding Jason Aldean's Politically Charged Single and CMT's Involvement"

Country Music Television (CMT) has pulled Jason Aldean's music video "Try That In A Small Town" from rotation after facing backlash for its perceived promotion of gun violence and lynching. The video, which features scenes shot at a location associated with a lynching and race riot, sparked criticism from online critics and advocacy groups. Aldean defended the song on Twitter, stating that it is about a sense of community and not race, and that he does not support violence. The controversy adds to previous controversies and tragedies Aldean has faced, including surviving a mass shooting in 2017 and being embroiled in political and social disputes.
