Here's more political drama for you. Sorry ahead of time! 

Washington State lawmaker Rep. Matt Shea (I probably should have keyed the word 'former in front of 'Rep'), I'll share in a moment why I thought to do this, is in a whole world of trouble stemming from a report out of the state of Washington which exposed Shea's ties to militia groups such as the standoff  (domestic terrorism) '2016' in the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Oregon where he along with others in a militia stood waiting to protest and shoot anyone who tried to make them leave the refuge. They think government land should be free for US citizens to use.

Next, In 2015, Shea was involved in yet another standoff at a veteran's Idaho home where authorities were trying to get inside to take the veteran's guns after a health care professional alerted them that the veteran should not have access to guns, but Shea and a militia momentarily prevented them from entering the home.

In 2014, Bundy family members, after they unlawfully allowed their cattle to graze on (BLM) government land, headed the standoff by calling all who wanted to to come protest what they deemed 'a tyrannical government.' The armed militia protested the arrest of the Hammonds - ranchers who set fire to their own fields (they said to rid them of invasive species) and caused damage to said property. 

​Shea has made appearances in Facebook groups (supposedly Christian) that supported holy wars and he even created a manifesto that read, "If they refuse to yield [to Christianity], kill all males."

'Crazy,' the unwanted gift that keeps on giving. This is what I think of Shea. Too, the bible doesn't tell Christians to kill non-Believers - This man needs some serious deprogramming and other psychological intervention. Both Republicans and Democrats want him to resign immediately. 

A report commissioned by the Washington state House of Representatives found that State Rep. Matt Shea participated in 3 armed standoffs or conflicts against the U.S. government. And that's not even counting his holy war manifesto.https://t.co/gsmbAAa3dn
