Another part of Schaffer's backstory in general, not necessarily related to J6, that I find ill-defined was his disappearance abroad to Australia for a prolonged period of time between his firing from The Blaze for allegedly groping Sara Gonzales and Nick Fuentes' canceled AFPAC IV in Detroit last year.
I don't know his wife's background. Perhaps she is an Aussie and they simply moved back home to lay low after the allegations of the occupational sexual harassment and rumors of him stepping out on his wife in other ways.
With Australia being part of the Five Eyes, it's not like he would've been out of reach.
But he vaguely posted for a long time that he was living in Australia (somewhat ironically, given the original fallout from his other You are Here podcast with Sydney Watson, also an Aussie who moved back home after her Blaze lawsuit).
Then one day, he announced he and his family were returning to the US homeland. I recall it was around the time of Fuentes' AFPAC IV because Schaffer was a VIP guest.
Schaffer announced on Twitter that he wouldn't be able to make it due to travel and moving difficulties right before Nick announced that his venue pulled out, always making me sus that Elijah was tipped off beforehand and never had any intention of physically attending.

Hmm, pretty weird. Especially after Lauren Southern's well-known clashes with Australian immigration in 2018 over right wing views.
I can't imagine why they would allow a participant in J6 into the country regardless of whether he's a reporter, like Lauren.
Exactly. Five Eyes.
Looks like his return was in June 2024.
Can't find the related tweets on his X account though about AFPAC and not making it.
