The artist retains 100% copyright, but that's not what the issue is here. LICENSING of the songs falls under the scope of the publishing company the artist either owns or contracted to represent them. If they signed a contract that allows a blanket licensing OR a public performance license, the artist can't stop a venue from playing the songs, so long as they pay their blanket fees to ASCAP or BMI.

Kind of wonder if certain episodes of antisocial behavior by Republicans towards performers who dared to express an opinion has anything to do with this reaction.

It doesn't sound like he demanded anything that he has no right to demand (i. e. that they stop using his song). Sounds to me like he's simply saying he doesn't approve of this use, as the artist who created the work. He has every right to make such a public declaration.
