Tony Hovater, the white nationalist and Nazi sympathizer featured in a controversial New York Times article this weekend, said he lost his job and would soon lose his home following a swift backlash over the article.

Hovater said that he, his wife and his brother-in-law were fired Monday. All three worked at 571 Grill & Draft House, a small restaurant in New Carlisle.
The restaurants owners said in a statement Wednesday that they did not know of Hovaters white nationalist views until the Times article was published. They said the article illustrated some very disturbing images and thoughts that they do not share.

After Hovater was fired, his supporters launched a crowdfunding campaign through a website called Goyfundme.com to raise money for him and his wife.

Goyfundme.com, which relies on bitcoin and credit and debit card payments, is an alternative crowdfunding site created earlier this year after mainstream fundraising sites like GoFundMe and PayPal removed campaigns and accounts associated with far-right ideologies. Parrott condemned active censorship and what he sees as the lack of net neutrality among the sites.
Hovater and Parrott are both co-founders of the Traditionalist Worker Party, one of the extreme right-wing groups that rallied in August in Charlottesville, where a car allegedly driven by a Nazi sympathizer plowed into a group of counterprotesters, killing 32-year-old Heather Heyer.

(2,003 posts)Hovater's Goyfundme.com crowdfunding campaign will definitely get a boost from the publicity.
They even offered a hyperlink so you don't have to search for it. $7,102 as of this moment.
Thanks, Washington Post!

(442 posts)Maybe the Times should scour the country to find other Nazis to profile. That could open up a lot of jobs by "retiring" lots of racists.
