Gerry Connolly, a U.S. Congressman representing Virginia’s 11th district, recently shared his views on various topics through a series of tweets. Connolly has been serving in Congress since 2009 after succeeding Tom Davis and previously served on the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors. Born in Boston in 1950, he currently resides in Fairfax.
On March 5, 2025, Connolly criticized statements regarding Social Security, suggesting that they were fabricated to mislead the public. He tweeted: “He’s just making stuff up about Social Security. Inventing it out of thin air.” Connolly expressed concern that such claims were intended to justify potential actions against Social Security benefits.
In another tweet from the same day, Connolly commented on governance and authority figures with a rhetorical question aimed at Elon Musk: “The days of rule by unelected bureaucrats are over.” Has anyone told Elon? This remark suggests skepticism about Musk’s influence or actions within certain sectors.
Connolly also briefly touched upon trade policies with a tweet referencing tariffs: “Speaking of tariffs: https://t.co/W0ah9TIZKI” The tweet indicates an interest or ongoing discussion about tariff-related issues.
