Is Elijah Schaffer left or right?
Elijah Schaffer now sits in the "dissident right" — the online faction that opposes both the Democratic left and establishment conservatism ("Conservative Inc."), and that has soured on Trump from the right. He rose hosting Slightly Offensive and You Are Here at BlazeTV, which fired him in September 2022 for "violating company policies" amid sexual-harassment allegations; he then moved his show to Rumble and founded his own network, Rift TV, where he is CEO. By February–March 2026 he was openly teaming up with Nick Fuentes, telling Fuentes on air that he "was wrong" to urge his audience to vote for Trump. His commentary has repeatedly drawn documented antisemitism controversies (Media Matters, StopAntisemitism) and, in 2026, backlash over posts mocking Indian American Republicans in Texas.
