Shea needs watching

Thu., May 2, 2019

I want to thank both KHQ and The Spokesman-Review for investigating Matt Shea.

It has been long overdue. It is my opinion that he is too radical. I have deep concerns learning he is doing background searches on persons. To what intent? To retaliate?

He wanted to divide the state and make a new state to his liking. He strutted, in my opinion, with radical gun rights fanatics during the midterm election along with Jenny Graham and Mike Fagan – some of the gun fanatics of whom I would suspect are white supremacists, white nationalist or like-minded individuals (my firm opinion). No sane gun owner needs to wallpaper themselves with assault weapons and parade in public to intimidate people.

Bravo on the investigative reporting!
