‘The View’ Reads Legal Note After Making Claim About Jason Aldean…


ABC’s “The View” had to include a “legal” notice following Thursday’s program after the co-hosts made several false claims about country music star Jason Aldean’s hometown.

The discussion centered around his hit song, “Try That In A Small Town,” which was actually released in May but has recently garnered attention — and criticism — from the left because of its use of footage of the 2020 riots.

The song contains lyrics describing instances of behaviors by rioters and protesters, such as burning a U.S. flag, screaming at police officers and spitting on them, among other violent acts like starting fires, breaking out windows, and causing other mayhem and damage — all backed up by actual footage in the video. The song then goes on to warn others not to try such behavior in small towns, implying that residents who live there would not put up with it (see the video below).

Aldean, who is unabashedly conservative, has responded to the criticism by explaining that nothing in the video is meant as an attack on anyone or any group in particular, but rather the behaviors of certain individuals during that riotous period.

But true to form, the liberal co-hosts on The View took a different approach and made a number of allegations that, according to Aldean’s explanations, were patently false.

“I’m actually not going to give [Aldean] the benefit of the doubt,” Sunny Hostin, a former attorney, said at one point.

“As a lawyer, when I put my legal hat on, I don’t believe in censorship,” she continued. “However, this man is from Macon, Georgia. My father’s from Augusta, Georgia, and Macon, Georgia. I spent many summers there. … It is one of the most racist places in this country.

“So don’t tell me that he knew nothing about what that imagery [from the music video] meant. … So I don’t give him the benefit of the doubt,” she claimed.

The Western Journal pointed out that Macon County is majority black: 59.3 percent to 37 percent white.

At the end of the segment, Hostin had to read a “legal note” that was essentially a statement from Aldean and his team

“Oh, I’m sorry,” she said. “I have a legal note: Jason Aldean defended his song in a statement, saying the references people have made are not only meritless but dangerous.”

“He added there is not a single lyric in that song that references race or points to it, and there isn’t a single video clip that isn’t real news footage,” she continued.

“Did you ever hear of a dog whistle?” co-host Joy Behar chimed in, essentially discounting Aldean’s explainer and accusing him of sending a subliminal message of hate.

In a recent Truth Social post, former President Donald Trump praised Aldean, saying, “Jason Aldean is a fantastic guy who just came out with a great new song. Support Jason all the way. MAGA!!!”
