White nationalist demonstrators walk into the entrance of Lee Park surrounded by counter demonstrators on Aug. 12, 2017, in Charlottesville. (Steve Helber/AP)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. The restaurant’s owners said in a statement Wednesday that they did not know of Hovater’s white nationalist views until the Times article was published. The couple in the NYT Nazi article apparently have gotten fired and their supporters are crowdfunding for them on "Goyfundme." According to the website, the Times article “resulted in a smear campaign” against Hovater and his wife.
