Suzanne Scholte, the Republican candidate facing Connolly in Virginia’s 11th district, said, “Defending and tolerating Morsi’s actions shows how radical Connolly has become. America needs to defend those persecuted in Egypt, not support the persecutors.” Suzanne Scholte stated “We need to destroy terrorists, not fund them. Sending money to Hamas, as Connolly wants to do, is reckless and hurts Israel, our closest ally in the Middle East—moreover it destabilizes the entire region by legitimizing a terrorist group with U.S. dollars,” Scholte continued. Scholte also criticized Connolly’s weakening of the United States Military, adding, “Gerry Connolly voted for defense cuts in the sequestration bill. His extreme stances fail to take foreign threats seriously and jeopardize national security.” https://facebook/video.php?v=384612501685719
