KALAMAZOO, Mich. (NEWSCHANNEL 3) - A local business owner spoke out to defend himself Wednesday amid calls to boycott his business after being labeled a Nazi supporter and a white supremacist.

A Facebook post that’s gone viral shows Aaron VanArsdale, the co-owner of Craft Draft 2 Go, with a swastika, and doing a Nazi salute.

Located off Stadium Drive, the Kalamazoo bar did not open Wednesday after it was vandalized overnight.

VanArsdale says his employees are too scared to come to work and he no longer feels safe.

A profanity in white spray paint was sandwiched in between ‘get out’ and ‘Nazi scum.’

“The public is crucifying me,” VanArsdale said.

The photos in question have been on his Facebook page for many years. As usual, when called out on it, he tried to brush it off as a “joke.”

A boycott has developed, several breweries have said they won’t sell to him any more, and several musical acts have cancelled performances at his bar.
