On Wednesday, founding member Mike Mills addressed fans on Twitter to let them know he doesn’t approve ofDonald Trump‘s usage of some of their hits — like “Losing My Religion” and “Everybody Hurts” — at his re-election campaign stops.
The music group, which split up in 2011, falls in line with other high-profile artists who havespoken outabout Trump, 73, using their musical catalog politically, such asRihanna,Queenandthe Rolling Stones.
Representatives for the Trump 2020 campaign did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment. A rep for R.E.M. had no additional comment.

In 2017, Mills shared his thoughts on the president and the impact he has had on U.S. politics.
“It’s not just who he is and what he represents,” the musician said at the time, according toNME. “It’s what he’s done to the American political process. He has allowed stupidity to be the coin of the realm, he has allowed thinking that has been and should always be marginalized and on the edges to become almost part of the mainstream.”
He added: “So it’s not just his policies, it’s not just his stupidity — it’s what he’s done and what he’s allowed to happen, and I’ll never forgive him for it, and I won’t stop talking about it.”
