Rep. Gerry Connolly, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Virginia's 11th district, has recently shared his views on several pressing issues through a series of tweets. Connolly, who has been serving in Congress since 2009 after succeeding Tom Davis, voiced concerns about the census, conflicts of interest within Donald Trump's team, and geopolitical changes in the Middle East.

On December 5, 2024, Rep. Connolly addressed allegations surrounding the census process. He stated: "Republicans invent conspiracy after conspiracy about the census, but there is only one scandal here: they refuse to provide the resources to guarantee we can get a fair and accurate census done."

In another tweet dated December 7, 2024, Connolly expressed his commitment to accountability regarding former President Donald Trump and his associates. He remarked: "Donald Trump and his team are walking conflicts of interest. We will be relentless in our efforts to hold them accountable."

On December 8, 2024, Connolly commented on potential changes in the Middle East following developments in Syria. He tweeted: "The fall of the Assad regime could reshape the Middle East. The end of 53 years of a brutal dictatorship that resorted to mass killings and chemical weapons and was propped up by Russia and Iran is welcome."
