Key Takeaway
A group of communists from the Revolution Club of Chicago protested outside Jason Aldean’s concert in Chicago, burning the American flag and calling him derogatory names. The demonstration was quickly shut down by the police.
About 20 members of the group made their stance clear by calling out Aldean directly, referring to him as a “fascist piece of s***.” They expressed their lack of fear, stating that they were willing to challenge him anywhere, anytime, and that they would even attempt their protest right in front of his concert.
In addition to targeting Aldean, the protesters seemed to hold an anti-American sentiment, using derogatory language and phrases such as “F*** the U.S. and all its might.” Their actions and chants clearly displayed their disdain for both the country and the musician.
However, their protest was short-lived as the Chicago Police Department intervened, declaring their gathering unlawful and accusing them of disturbing the peace. The officers promptly ordered them to disperse, resulting in the group leaving the area without any arrests being made.
The controversy surrounding Jason Aldean’s hit song, “Try That In a Small Town,” continues to resonate throughout the country. Despite the backlash, Aldean continues to perform in various major cities and draw large crowds.
Jason Aldean’s concert tour is scheduled to continue until the end of October, with upcoming stops along the West Coast. It remains to be seen how these future performances will unfold in light of the recent protest.
