After being shunned by his colleagues for aligning with the far-right militia movement, Washington state representative Matt Shea will not appear on the ballot for re-election in 2020 after 11 years as a legislator.
Reading this article dispassionately, all I can say think is life in America has gotten so weird!
Satanic rituals, counter protests, an olive oil spill costing thousands of dollars to clean up…
Shea is the type who sits around at night smelling his guns.
No retirement announcement just a cowardly turning tail that seems entirely in character. However, an inciter of terrorism will no longer be a member of the WA leg. I’ll take my victories where I can get them.
Congratulations, Spokane Valley. Try to be a little more thoughtful when choosing Shea’s replacement OK?
Hey Shea, you do know that all the olive oil is made by us I-talians, don’t ya? You know, us pope-loving Southern Europeans?
I would have loved to have heard their shocked, shocked tones discussing what’s in the report. They shunned him because he’s obviously crazy and nobody wanted to be around him.
Some very minor credit to the Washington Repubs for recognizing that this corpse was gonna smell really badly if it were tied around their necks.
Matt Shea, ammosexual and modern-day Carrie A. Nation–spilling demon EVOO so you don’t have to.

Matt Shea will not appear on the ballot for re-election
I weep for my country.
Shea said he was the victim of a “sham investigation” when the report was published in December, comparing himself to President Donald Trump.
One of the many outcomes of the next election that I’m hoping for is that Republicans realize Trumpism only worked for Trump because he had lots and lots of help from foreign bad actors and domestic ones too. When they try Trumpism at home it almost always backfires.
Smelling? Is that what the kids are calling it these days?
Friday’s filing deadline to appear on November’s ballot came and went without any word from Shea on his House seat, local Washington outlets reported. Shea did file, however, to run for the neighborhood-level role of Republican precinct captain.
… or its nearest equivalent, Hauptsturmführer.
O/T caught in the act
Or made by liberals in Commie-fornia!
Though Republican House leaders called for Shea to resign, no Republicans signed onto a Democratic letter calling for Shea’s expulsion from the legislature.
Once again the Repukes show their backbones. By turning and running.
I live in western Washington where sanity is way more prevalent. Matt Shea is a certified nut job. Maybe the pandemic has opened the eyes and minds of Spokane voters. I wouldn’t bet the ranch on it.
Months after being shunned by his colleagues over a damaging report on his involvement with the far-right militia movement, Washington state representative Matt Shea will not appear on the ballot for re-election in 2020 after 11 years as a legislator.
Lest anyone feel sorry for the white nationalists, they still have Trump, McConnell, Scalise, and so many others.
Olive oil? He should’ve borrowed some milkshakes from Matt Gaetz. Just as messy and cheaper to clean up.
He was a nice looking Nazi.
