Recordings obtained by the Guardian show Republican state representative Matt Shea and several associates telling an audience to arm themselves for a looming civil war. The audio was taken in a remote north-eastern religious compound in Washington state last year. In the recordings they can be heard saying ‘How many of you have pulled the trigger on your AR-15 in the fight we are in yet?’ and ‘The war is here – the bad guy is here’
