WHITE nationalists who appeared at the deadly demonstrations in Charlottesville are being outed on social media — with at least one being fired from their job after his name and picture was posted online.

Cole White, of California, was axed from his restaurant position in Berkeley on Sunday just hours after being publicly identified by a Twitter account known as “Yes, You’re Racist”.

The page has been putting “Unite the Right” protesters on blast following their violent, hate-fuelled rallies in Charlottesville, Viriginia on Friday night and Saturday.

“If you recognize any of the Nazis marching in #Charlottesville, send me their names/profiles and I’ll make them famous,” the user wrote to its more than 180,000 followers.

So far, they’ve succeeded in getting at least one white nationalist fired — and another shamed by thousands.

Peter Cvjetanovic, 20, has gotten so much backlash as a result of “Yes, You’re Racist” identifying him on Saturday night as one of the “angry” torchbearers from Friday’s Emancipation Park rally that he tried to clear his name in an interview with a local TV station in his home city of Reno, Nevada.

“I did not expect the photo to be shared as much as it was,” he told Channel 2 News. “I understand the photo has a very negative connotation. But I hope that the people sharing the photo are willing to listen that I’m not the angry racist they see in that photo.”

White, who worked for the Top Dog restaurant chain, was the very first person that “Yes, You’re Racist” exposed this weekend. His employers said he was fired as a direct result of his involvement in the “Unite the Right” demonstrations.

“The actions of those in Charlottesville are not supported by Top Dog,” the restaurant said in a statement, which was posted outside their Berkeley location on Sunday.

“We believe in individual freedom, and voluntary association for everyone,” they added.

The “Yes, You’re Racist” account has identified several other “Neo-Nazis” and “white supremacists” who were involved in the protests — posting their names and Twitter handles online for all to see.

One of the alleged demonstrators, user @FearsWilliam, jokingly re-tweeted a photo that the page posted of him throwing up a Nazi salute, saying “lol.”

In his profile bio, the man describes himself as being the “charismatic leader of a white breeding cult.”

The “Yes, You’re Racist” page also posted pictures of James Fields, the Nazi-loving 20-year-old who allegedly rammed his Dodge Challenger over a crowd of anti-racist protesters on Saturday, killing one person and injuring more than 20 others. He has since been charged with second-degree murder.

“Here’s a photo of the #Charlottesville killer marching w/ a neo-Nazi group,” the account tweeted. “The symbols on the shield are fasces, the root word of fascism.”
