Statement from Congressman Gerry Connolly on District Office Attack
Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Print this Page Share by Email
Fairfax, VA, May 15, 2023
Congressman Gerry Connolly (D-VA) released the following statement:

“This morning, an individual entered my District Office armed with a baseball bat and asked for me before committing an act of violence against two members of my staff. The individual is in police custody and both members of my team were transferred to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries. Right now, our focus is on ensuring they are receiving the care they need. We are incredibly thankful to the City of Fairfax Police Department and emergency medical professionals for their quick response.

“I have the best team in Congress. My District Office staff make themselves available to constituents and members of the public every day. The thought that someone would take advantage of my staff’s accessibility to commit an act of violence is unconscionable and devastating.”

Lol—if they renamed FBI HQ the LGBT crowd would be out on the street protesting.

His correct name was Gay Edgar Hoover.

Very tangential thought, but I wonder whether an aluminum bat would be likely to cause worse injury than an ash or maple bat.

I guess Biden will say we need to control baseball bats - confiscate them.

Not identifying the perp often tells us what we need to know without saying a word.

Just another Dem expressing his outrage probably because Connolly used the wrong pronoun to address someone.
