Sunny Hostin slammed Jason Aldean after he denied that his song "Try That In A Small Town" referenced race during a Hot Topic discussion on The View on Thursday, July 20. While the country singer denied the song included references to race, Sunny refused to give her the "benefit of the doubt," saying she experienced racism while spending time in Macon, Georgia, where Jason is from.
As the co-hosts dissected the lyrics and their interpretation, Alyssa Farah-Griffin said she gave him "the benefit of the doubt" as not meaning to "stir up division, glorify violence or racism", but Sunny later explained why she wouldn't do the same. “This man is from Macon, Georgia. My dad is from Augusta, GA and Macon, GA. I spent many summers there. It's one of the most racist places in this country,” she said. “Don't tell me he didn't know what that imagery meant. So I'm not giving him the benefit of the doubt."
