My opinion is that really shouldn’t matter what you’ve done, if you weren’t on the clock, your employer has nothing to say about it.
I can see exceptions when you are misrepresenting yourself as acting in an official capacity or if you are clearly “the public face” of the company (like an on-air personality or public spokesperson). On the face of it, none of that applies here.
That is a tough one, as it would also prevent employers from firing nazis or J6 insurrectionists as long as they keep it off the clock. But their bad actions can reflect poorly on the employer if they become public.
Part of me thinks what they do on their own time is none of the employers business, and another part of me thinks fuck those nazis, they deserve nothing but scorn.
I disagree. If I’m a welder in the back of the shop, nothing I do on my own time reflects positively or negatively on my employer as long as I leave my employer out of it. That some busybody wants to make it my employers business is unreasonable and unfair. And that goes double for the employer who decides to make it their business.
I think it’s quite clear that, in that case, the server is the face of that business. What happens if instead, the person is working in the back room keeping the books?
Depends on what she said.
And when/where/to who.
Edit: it states in the article what she said, which is that Israel should not exist.
It also says when (while she was not at work).

Imagine someone spends their weekends harassing gay people then during the week they work at a gay bar
Do you think the clientele would want to be served by them?
Who you are outside of work directly impacts the business
