Country music legend Lee Greenwood, best known for his inspiring song “God Bless the USA,” came to the defense of singer Jason Aldean on Thursday during ongoing liberal backlash over his “Try That In A Small Town” music video.
“I am a Jason Aldean fan. He is the biggest patriot, like a lot of us. This has nothing to do with racism,” Greenwood said on “Jesse Watters Primetime.” “This is about people trying to take away the freedom of expression. It is a great song, and I wish I had it… I love Jason’s approach. He is a great artist and always does the right thing.”
But of course the media attacks anything and everything that doesn’t fit their narrative. They claim ‘racism’ for everything that isn’t in alignment with their propaganda machine… so they attack relentlessly and spew lies.
The good news is that the people see through it and have helped it shoot up to #1.
Aldean recently unveiled a powerful music video for a pro-gun, anti-crime song, featuring authentic news clips from the riots and looting incidents of 2020. The song’s powerful message echoes the sentiment that small towns uphold values of peace and law and order, standing against the chaos and lawlessness experienced by numerous cities across the country during the summer of 2020.
After activists claimed it was “racist and violent” for Aldean to suggest lawlessness would not be tolerated in a small town and accused the country singer of releasing a “pro-lynching song,” CMT pulled the music video from circulation.
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.…

Greenwood, a self-described “Bible-thumping, gun-toting Christian,” praised Aldean for representing the “small-town flavor” with his lyrics and urged the country artist to tune out the noise.
“I am from a small town in California and people cannot take our freedom away because people know everybody in a small town and that is what the heart of America is. It’s rural America,” he said.
