By now, you’ve seen how Washington state representative Matt Shea sat in on a chat session in which several far-right activists discussed spying on, doxing, and violently attacking area liberals.
Simply put, this cannot be allowed to stand. Steve King was stripped of his committee assignments for far less than this.
Lieutenant governor Cyrus Habib has called for the state house Republicans to throw Shea out of caucus.
As has the state Democratic Party.
But he doesn’t need to just be out of the caucus. He needs to be out of the legislature altogether. When an elected official consorts with people who condone spying on innocent people and targeting them with violence, it’s time for that elected official to go. And that’s true regardless of party.
Sign this petition calling on the state house to expel Shea unless he has the decency to resign. It will send a message to the inboxes of every member of the state house. This is line in the sand time, folks.
