“The statue is a deplorable monument to racism, bigotry, and police brutality for members of the Black community, the LGBTQ community, and many others. The treatment of these communities under Mr. Rizzo’s leadership was among the worst periods in Philadelphia’s history,” Mayor Jim Kenney said in a written statement.

"By 1971 he was swept in as Mayor and by last September he had plunged headlong into his push for a third term. That was when he publicly urged supporters to “Vote White,” a loosetongued statement that outraged the black community here."

Two months after being sworn in, Rizzo endorsed Richard Nixon, a Republican, for re-election as US president. In return for Rizzo's support, the victorious Nixon granted more federal funding to Philadelphia. But the action alienated many of Rizzo's supporters in his own party. The Democratic city committee, Democrats on the city council, and party chairman Peter Camiel viewed Rizzo's action as a betrayal.
