Washington House fired Shea aide after "bloodshed or Liberty state" rally speech

[TexasTowelie]

Back in May, at a rally calling for Eastern Washington to become its own state dubbed Liberty, state Rep. Matt Shea's legislative assistant, Rene' Holaday, claimed that the number of Republican legislators supporting Shea's proposal was growing.

It was a result, she argued, of the flood of liberal legislation passed by state Democrats, who'd been given the strongest legislative majority in years.

"It was described as a bloodbath," Holaday said, according to a video recording of the event. "What they got was absolutely atrocious."

But Holaday argued the devastation had only given fuel to the Liberty proposal.

"We had an ever-larger number of representatives on board with us," Holaday said. "They actually even said — and it wasn't even representative Shea that said this, they said this on their own — 'It’s either going to be bloodshed or Liberty State.' Take that to heart.”

1. These guys don't want a 51st state. They want a religious war.

From the article:

Sheriff Ozzie Knezovich, who says he's been feeding information he gets about Shea to the FBI since at least 2013, accuses Shea of trying to corrupt the youth.

"Matt Shea is involved in the radicalization of young people," Knezovich says. He's particularly concerned with Weaver's involvement.

"This is an individual that is training young minds in radical terroristic type training. They're training them to go against their own government," Knezovich says about Weaver and Team Rugged. "It's a hardcore anti-government ideology, married with the Christian Identity white-supremacist mindset. In any other vernacular, you'd be calling that a 'holy war.' It would be a jihad."
