Rep. Gerry Connolly, who has been serving in the U.S. Congress representing Virginia's 11th district since 2009, has recently shared his views on several political issues via social media. Connolly's remarks focus on concerns regarding individuals involved in government positions and challenges faced by his office.
On December 2, 2024, Connolly criticized Kash Patel, stating that "Kash Patel is delusional. His rhetoric about the public servants who work at the FBI and the DOJ is dangerous and deeply corrosive. He has no business being anywhere near the office of the Director of the FBI."
In a tweet dated December 4, 2024, Connolly expressed apprehension about appointments made by Donald Trump, including Pete Hegseth at the Department of Defense. He noted that "With the disastrous cabinet picks we've seen from Donald Trump, including Pete Hegseth at the Department of Defense, our oversight of his administration is going to be more important than ever."
On December 5, 2024, Connolly informed constituents about technical difficulties affecting his district office communication lines. He advised residents needing assistance to contact an alternative number: "The phones in my district office are down this morning. If you need assistance, please call our DC office at (202) 225-1492."
