April 21, 2019 at 9:28 am EDT By Taegan Goddard
Washington state Rep. Matt Shea (R) “took part in private discussions with rightwing figures about carrying out surveillance, ‘psyops’ and even violent attacks on perceived political enemies,” according to chat records obtained by the Guardian.
Shea “did not demur from any of these suggestions. He also appeared willing to participate directly in surveillance of activists.”
“The men talked about the broad outlines of what they appeared to consider to be a looming civil war. They also discussed using symbols from what they understood to be Russian anti-communist groups as a way of spreading paranoia among their adversaries.”
