Sure, and that's why there's no statue of him (AFAIK) in the public realm.
Similarly, I'd be a lot more okay with removing the statue of Governor Leland Stanford that's on the capitol's front lawn in Sacramento on the grounds that the guy was an animal eater, than I would be with removing the statue that's at the Palo Alto campus for that same reason.
