Notable public statements

During a speech at a rally to defend a statue honoring Confederate soldiers in Travis Park, Addicott said he'd "love to beat the living daylights" out of racists. He said that whether the statue should be removed had nothing to do with racism. He was criticized for the comments by St. Mary's president Thomas Mengler, as well as by alumni. Addicott later told a columnist for a local newspaper that he had made a mistake.
