Roy’s involvement in the rallies and employment status at the local restaurant was first reported by the Burlington Free Press.

Skip Weldon, the Boston-based restaurant’s chief marketing officer, confirmed to multiple media outlets on Wednesday that Roy had been terminated. Weldon did not return calls from VTDigger on Wednesday seeking additional comment.

2. A fine guy eh ?

Roy has told the Free Press and Seven Days that he supports segregation and the concept of a white nation.

“Obviously I would advocate for racial separation and racial nationalism or repatriation or even a return to — our country was a white country up until the 1965 Hart-Celler Immigration Act,” Roy told the Free Press.

Well, there is a start for everything. Why not return to Africa, Roy? You will meet your grandpas and grandmas, isn't a good idea?

4. If he's all for repatriation

then perhaps he should be sent back to Europe, where his family likely came from.

3. South Burlington? Not surprising.

Growing up, I spent summers at a camp in Vermont on Lake Champlain and we got pizza in South Burlington when we were good, LOL. I've returned many times since the daughter of the couple who ran the camp remains one of my best friends. I didn't get it when I was a kid, but I remember they were big supporters of Eugene McCarthy.
