Guardian Angels founder Curtis Sliwa sailed to an easy win over restaurateur Fernando Mateo in Tuesday's Republican mayoral primary in New York City.

Sliwa received 68.9 percent of the Republican votes to 26.9 percent for Mateo, with over 96 percent of precincts reporting, according to preliminary results from the Board of Elections.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we have just won the Republican Party in an overwhelming way," Sliwa said Tuesday at the Empire Steakhouse in Midtown, according to the New York Post.

"It was a long period of time that took going door-to-door, street by street, subway station by subway station, and spreading the word," he said, according to the outlet.

With public attention on crime and safety, both Republican candidates campaigned on a law-and-order platform, with Sliwa resorting to some colorful stunts as he sought to capitalize on his history with the Guardian Angels, a group of volunteer crime fighters.

Sliwa made headlines in May when he embarked on a 24-hours-straight subway ride after challenging Democrats to join him on the journey, part of his bid to draw attention to his tough-on-crime policy posture.

"Hey, Democrats! Wanna be mayor? Gotta ride the subway," Sliwa said at the time in a video on Twitter, in which he held up a pair of hockey masks and said, "I know some of you are afraid of getting slashed—I brought masks for you to protect you from getting slashed."

Several years ago, on his radio show,
Curtis Sliwa was saying about his young son,

"Don't anybody give my kid a soccer ball!
I will puncture it and deflate it!
My kid is not going to play some pansy game like soccer!
My kid is going to play football!"

This guy is a total nutcake......but he is better than anything the Pubs or the Dems have in NY
