[7][8] In an interview with HuffPost, Wilson stated that he thought that "DHS [Department of Homeland Security] was on the front line against Osama bin Laden".

[11][12] In 2012, Wilson posted to Instagram an image of a cooler emblazoned with a Confederate battle flag and the words "The South Shall Rise Again", prompting allegations of racism.

[17] Wilson has been known to use extremely crude language and generalizations, such as, when criticizing supporters of Donald Trump during an interview with MSNBC leading up to the 2016 presidential election, he called them "childless single men who masturbate to anime".

"[19][20][21] According to The Daily Dot, "Domino's response immediately went viral", however, they credited Wilson for not deleting the tweet "despite the unrelenting onslaught of mockery" directed at him.
