Today's Shea news: Terrorist Republican compares his situation to Trump's

https://www.seattlepi.com/local/politics/article/Defiant-Rep-Matt-Shea-won-t-resign-draws-Trump-14922803.php

After yesterday's news...

https://www.democraticunderground.com/100212802007

in which Matt Shea (Washington state House member from Spokane Valley, and obviously a Republican) was marooned on the steps of the Legislative Building...

he has responded with a Facebook post:

"Like we are seeing with our President, this is a sham investigation meant to silence those of us who stand up against attempts to disarm and destroy our great country. I will not back down. I will not give in. I will not resign. Stand strong, fellow Patriots.

"Thank you to everyone for the massive outpouring of support prayers! I will continue to defend the Constitution against tyranny and fight to protect our God given rights to life, liberty, property and the ability to defend the same. Blessings to you. Matt."


The last and only expulsion from the Washington Legislature happened in 1933. I suspect another one will happen next month.
