Kick streamer Steven "Destiny" recently responded to a fellow political commentator and podcast host Elijah Schaffer on X by bringing up allegations of sexual assault against the latter from the past. For context, Schaffer had posted a clip from his interaction with Young Turks producer Ana Kasparian who had criticized Destiny for his take on the recent shooting at the Donald Trump rally.
For those unaware, Destiny has been getting a lot of backlash for his views about the assassination attempt on former US President Donald Trump. Kick has also suspended his account citing hate speech after he cussed out Trump and the rally-goer who died due to the shooting on stream.
On July 18, he replied to Elijah Schaffer's post about him on X by bringing up past allegations of assault and warned Ana Kasparian not to be alone with Elijah in a room, writing:
Trending
"Just don’t be in a room alone with him, Ana. Elijah likes to r*pe women if he feels like he has the opportunity to get away with it, he’s done it in the past. If Elijah thinks I’m lying, he’s welcome to sue me and see what comes up in court."
What are the possible allegations that Destiny brought up against Elijah Schaffer?
As mentioned, Destiny's comments about Elijah Schaffer were made after the latter posted a clip featuring Ana Kasparian criticizing the Kick streamer for his statements about Donald Trump's assassination attempt. In the caption, Elijah highlights some of Kasparian's remarks, noting that she condemned the streamer for his comments about Corey Comperatore, the fire chief who died after getting shot at the rally in Pennsylvania:
"TYT Host @AnaKasparian condemns @TheOmniLiberal's comments mocking the murder of Trump supporter, Corey Compertatore, at last weekend's rally in Pennsylvania."
Destiny, who has also clashed with Elon Musk online and got his X account demonetized, hit back at Elijah Schaffer by bringing up allegations made against the former Blaze TV host who had been accused of assaulting a colleague back in 2022. According to the Daily Beast's report from October 6, 2022, Elijah Schaffer was fired from Blaze TV following an internal investigation behind the allegations that he had groped a fellow Blaze host Sara Gonzales.
Schaffer was eventually fired in September of that year, but details about the termination of his contract were not reported before October.
Another ex-Blaze TV employee Sydney Watson filed a lawsuit against Elija Schaffer back in 2023 claiming that the company had fired her after she complained about him berating her with offensive comments, as reported by Dallas Observer in February of that year. While Destiny did not clarify which incident he was talking about in his post, he might be referring to his firing from Blaze TV.
