PIERRE, S.D.–Gov. Kristi Noem shared her support Wednesday for country music singer Jason Aldean following the TV network CMT pulling his controversial music video for the song “Try That in a Small Town.”
Aldean wrote in a social media post that his song has been accused of being “pro-lynching.” He notes that his song includes no lyrics mentioning race, and all of the clips used in the music video are real news footage.
Gov. Noem made a social media post Wednesday in support of Aldean, saying she was impressed by the song and is shocked by the response of people trying to cancel the song and singer.
