The Pete Wilson Quotes:

“Isn’t this a great country that anyone can make a perfect horse’s ass of himself at any time?”

“View this statue, as I will, as a surrogate recipient of the tribute that’s deserved by all of you who shared the dream, who made it come true and gave all the proud neighborhoods of San Diego the vibrant heart they needed.”

“Our message is that Pete Wilson has been about white supremacy all along. It is racist to honor this guy,” said Olin Tezcatlipoca, director of the Los Angeles-based Mexica Movement.

Tezcatlipoca’s group toted signs depicting Wilson in a Nazi uniform with a swastika.

Pete Wilson served California with distinction. Flap looks forward to visiting San Diego and seeing the statue.
