‘Blood is required of every generation’: Video surfaces of Rep. Matt Shea speaking in 2013
Wed., Feb. 26, 2020

Standing onstage with a large American flag draped behind him, state Rep. Matt Shea spoke candidly to a small congregation of supporters in northeast Washington.

It was early July 2013, and Shea’s message was clear: Prepare for conflict. The federal government is coming to get you.

“Arm yourselves. Arm your families. Arm the church,” he said, according to video footage that surfaced this week.

“Godlessness is violence,” he said. “We’ve got to prepare ourselves mentally. And part of that, too, is we’ve got to realize that every generation – blood is required of every generation. In some way, shape or form, blood is required of every generation.”

Shea delivered the speech at the annual God and Country Celebration in Marble, a small religious community in northeast Stevens County, some 80 miles outside the district he represents in the Legislature.
