Country music superstar Jason Aldean is getting the last laugh over Country Music Television over his new song. The left has been bashing the song nonstop since he released it and the calls for a boycott were answered by CMT, who caved and yanked the song from its airwaves.
But today Billboard is reporting that the song hit number one on the US iTunes charts. The YouTube video has received 4.9 million views in less than a week as well.
GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy said: “Jason Aldean writes a song defending the values that ALL Americans used to share – faith, family, hard work, patriotism – only to be immediately sacrificed at the altar of censorship & cancellation.
“These are the same people who cheer songs like “Cop Killer” & the glorification of sex and violence in hip-hop.
“Stand strong against these hypocrites and opportunist frauds, @Jason_Aldean.
“It’d be a real shame if the song hits #1.
“We’ll do our part & play it at our rallies.
Former President Donald Trump said:
“Jason Aldean is a fantastic guy who just came out with a great new song. Support Jason all the way.
