Connolly Statement on Trump Inaugural Address

Washington, January 20, 2017

Congressman Gerry Connolly (D-VA) released the following statement after President Donald J. Trump’s Inaugural address:

“A troubling inaugural address. President Trump offered a dark, dystopian, and defiant inaugural speech that begins a new presidency without aspiration or reconciliation. It failed to unify or reach out to the entire nation, and insists on Trump's view of patriotism and triumphalism. Its insistent nationalism can only encourage Moscow and disconcert our allies.”
