The restaurant where he worked, part time, was inundated with threats. They felt it best for the safety of the rest of the staff to part ways with Mr. Nazi. Errr, Mr Hovater, and his kin. I can't believe that this guy thought he could put himself and his vile beliefs out into the wide world, and not suffer any blow back. Anyway, here are some article 'snips' and the link. I am also including a link to the The Daily Mail coverage.
I know - The Daily Mail, but it has much more detail, should anyone care to take a gander.
'Nazi next door' says 'New York Times' profile cost him job, home
An Ohio white supremacist who rocketed to infamy after a controversial profile in The New York Times says he lost his job and home in the aftermath of his widely publicized ideological reveal.
.........
The Times described Hovater as a regular guy in his community, a well-mannered "Nazi sympathizer next door" living a quiet, uneventful life.
Until the profile, apparently. The article did not mention the restaurant by name, but referenced its signature Haystack hamburger a silver lining for the rustic eatery that features more than 125 craft beers and bumper stickers on its support beams.
"While the 571 Grill and Draft House is happy to be recognized by national news outlets for our 571 Haystack burger, its with a sad heart that we must reflect on a divisive political topic that has unfortunately darkened the doorstep of our small business," the owners said in a statement.
