Tony Hovater, the 'Nazi Next Door' from the NYT article has been fired from his job.

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, it’s 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.

Honestly, they think because some high profile people can swan around, spewing hate on the national stage, they are home free with their own vileness.

I won't repeat the site's name, since it is so disgusting. But it's basically GoFundMe, with an added letter to make the 1st word very Racist.

I'm betting that any place that hires him with be targeted, too. Honestly, that kind of stupidity has to be a very heavy burden to lug through life.

if noted loon and dump sugar daddy ol' bobby mercer and his even loonier spawn bekah (AKA Cruella) offer him employment. Or large wads of cash. As a reward for all the great propaganda mr. boy-next-door nazi got into the nyt. Prolly boosted recruitment among American nazis.

This idiot will certainly not account for the dough as income, but rest assured, it will be reported.

Not the fact that he is a fucking Nazi?!?

This restaurant owner seems hesitant to fire this guy, saying it was about politics. You don’t care you have Nazis working at your restaurant?!?
