WATCH: Country Star SLAMS Woke ‘Keyboard Warriors,’ Defends Jason Aldean With New Song

Country music star Brantley Gilbert gave his audience a piece of his mind over the weekend, lamenting the fact that “we don’t live in a society where people get punched in the face anymore.”

Gilbert was of course speaking about the uproar directed against fellow country music star Jason Aldean over his new hit single “Try That in a Small Town” which talks about everyday neighbors standing up for one another in the face of violent crime or unpatriotic protests. Gilbert blamed the outrage on “keyboard warriors” who don’t know what it’s really like to stand up for one’s beliefs in public.

“So I got mad as hell the other night over this Aldean thing and I thought I was going to tweet something, or something, but I realized I don’t have the password for any of my social media. So I decided to write them sum bitches a song, I hope y’all like it,” said Gilbert before launching into his latest ballad called “Bury Me Upside Down.”

“One of my pet peeves is we live in a society nowadays where people don’t get punched in the face anymore. Just a bunch of keyboard warriors hiding behind cell phones and laptops,” Gilbert added.

As one of the most brash Nashville stars, Gilbert has been at the forefront of protests against Bud Light for going “woke,” smashing bottles of the brew onstage as it launched hail-mary plays with camo-printed cans and free beer.

All the ruckus hasn’t stopped Aldean’s hit single from topping the charts on the iTunes store last week remains in the number one spot as of Monday morning. The unlikely success of the song has prompted a Republican governor to invite Aldean to perform at a public event while President Donald Trump added he thinks Aldean is a “terrific guy.” The defense came following a decision by Country Music Television to remove the music video for “Try That in a Small Town” over its inclusion of footage from left-wing riots.
