The Foo Fighters later released a response to the situation, saying they had not given Trump permission to use the song.
A spokesperson for the band told Billboard, “Foo Fighters were not asked for permission and would not have granted it if asked. Appropriate action is being taken in response to this campaign.”
The spokesman also said all royalties earned from Trump’s use of the song would be donated to the Harris-Waltz campaign.

“We had permission to play this song. The Foo Fighters and their spokespeople have no idea what they’re talking about and are engaging in false anger,” Trump spokesman Steven Chang said.
