Dixie Chicks’ Natalie Maines blasts Donald Trump, country radio

Natalie Maines of the Dixie Chicks has had it with what she perceives as country radio's hypocrisy, at least when it comes to the presidential race currently taking place in the U.S. The singer, who has been publicly vocal about numerous issues in the past , called out a double-standard in the world of country music: Maines insists that country-music radio is fine with conservative commentary, but liberal points-of-view are immediately critiqued and shot down. Maines is specifically referring to GOP candidate Donald Trump's remarks about the Second Amendment , and his perceived call to "do something" about his opponent Hillary Clinton.
