Elijah Schaffer and his “Slightly Offensive” podcast had an audience of 460,000 on YouTube to which he spewed more than slightly offensive bigotries about people of color, women, and the LGBTQ community. On Monday night, the commentator finally got canned from The Blaze, which hosted his show.
The Blaze had ample opportunities to fire Schaffer. Taking a stroll through the garbage heap that was his show, we wonder why comments that he made on “Slightly Offensive” didn’t reward him with a termination notice sooner.
There was this rant about Native Americans in which Schaffer told Native Americans, who have lived on this land for millennia before the concept of America was founded, to “Get the fuck out of America!”
This was of course later followed by his promise to fight for aggrieved young, white heterosexual men.
Or what about this demand that non-white people show their appreciation for what white people have done for this nation?
Elijah Schaffer demands that non-white people show their appreciation for what white people have done for this nation: "You're welcome … You haven't done much for it in terms of what we would have liked. You've only complained and you've cause more problems." https://t.co/Tryk897lP2 pic.twitter.com/3tnWTWESCI

How about when he attacked multiculturalism and suggested we’d be better off with a homogenous white culture?
"This is the most racist thing I'll say all podcast" seems like an odd way to begin making your argument, but then again, we're not @theblaze host Elijah Schaffer: "Multiculturalism is gay. It sucks. It's stupid. It doesn't work. It never has worked." pic.twitter.com/oxjGsOo8l9

Or maybe, just maybe, he could have been canned when he joked about murdering trans children?
