A man is out of a job at a popular Berkeley hot dog eatery after photos of him attending a torch-lit gathering of white supremacists in Charlottesville, Va., were circulated on social media. “Cole chose to voluntarily resign his employment with top dog and we accepted his resignation,” Top Dog said in its statement. The restaurant chain also repudiated reports that it “knowingly employs racists and promotes racist theology.”“That too is false,” the business said. After talking with White, the restaurant chain taped signs to its doors saying, “Effective Saturday 12th August, Cole White no longer works at Top Dog. It simply is not part of our culture,” the restaurant chain said.
