Jason Aldean addressed the insanity around his music video last night while he was doing a concert and the crowd loved it.

They went wild and began chanting ‘USA! USA! USA!’ when he started talking about how much he loved his country and his family and how he’d do anything he can to protect them:
 

 
Here’s what Aldean said:

Well I gotta tell you guys it’s been a long ass week. It’s been a long week and I’ve seen a lot of stuff suggesting I’m this, suggesting I’m that. Hey, here’s the thing. Here’s one thing I feel. I feel like everyone is entitled to their opinion. You can think something all you want to; it doesn’t mean it’s true, right?

So, what I am is a proud American. I’m proud [unintelligible – “to be for liberty”?]. I love our country. I want to see it restored to what it once was before all this bullshit started happening to us. I love my country, I love my family and I’ll do anything to protect that, I can tell you that right now.

CROWD CHANTS USA! USA! USA!

Here’s what I want to say. A lot of things out there – the one thing I love, you guys know how it is in this day and age, cancel culture is a thing. That’s something that if people don’t like what you say, they try and make sure they can cancel you, which means try and ruin your life. Ruin everything. One thing I saw this week was a bunch of country music fans that can see through a lot of the bullshit.

I love the fact that he didn’t back down and apologize. That happens so much these days when cancel culture rears it’s fascist head and it’s refreshing to see someone who stands his ground, to paraphrase Tom Petty.
