Plausible deniability is definitely a thing. I couldn't pick Bovino out of a lineup personally, so if some jerkoff in a red sweater (which appears to be the case there.) got some food and drinks at a place I ran I wouldn't think about it at all.

Once it comes to light that red sweater jerkoff is King Megadick of Turd Mountain (Like him posting about eating with the boys at my place on Instagram or whatev.), then that plausible deniability is lost and now the place is either the place that knowingly served King Megadick, or the one that kicked his dumb ass out. One of those will (rightly) cause a huge drop in business and maybe employees.

Lots of nuance for “we are nazis” or “we throw nazis to the curb”

You can put as many pretty words as you want on this, but one of those two statuses are all anyone cares about
