DeSantis defends Jason Aldean from media attacks: 'Nothing to apologize for'
Fox News
Jason Aldean may have been spurned by Country Music Television for "Try That In a Small Town," but Florida Governor Ron DeSantis came to his defense.
While a representative for CMT has not provided more context for the decision to Fox News Digital, Aldean has been condemned by some who suggest his hit was a "pro-lynching song," because the video was filmed in front of the Maury County Courthouse in Columbia, Tennessee, the scene of both a historical race riot and a lynching.
