Rep. Gerry Connolly, a U.S. Congressman representing Virginia's 11th district since 2009, has recently expressed his concerns regarding former President Donald Trump's actions through a series of tweets. Connolly, who succeeded Tom Davis in Congress and previously served on the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors, shared his views on social media.
On January 29, 2025, Connolly tweeted that "Donald Trump has unleashed chaos across America."
Later that day, at 01:04 UTC, he further criticized Trump by stating that "Donald Trump is trying every trick he and his Project 2025 cronies can think of to fill the civil service with political hacks." He warned against being misled by such offers from Trump, suggesting that individuals could be harmed as others have been in the past.
In another tweet posted at 15:11 UTC on the same day, Connolly described the situation as an oligarchy rather than democracy. He stated that "Trump has handed over the keys to our government to his unelected, unaccountable billionaire friends." According to Connolly, this has resulted in mass chaos and confusion posing threats to lives and livelihoods while pushing towards a constitutional crisis.
