Mike Quigley, a U.S. Congressman representing Illinois’ 5th district since 2009, has recently shared his views on various political matters through social media posts. Quigley, who succeeded Rahm Emanuel in Congress and previously served on the Cook County Board of Commissioners, is known for his active engagement in national and international issues.
On November 19, 2024, Quigley participated in an event with the Helsinki Commission to commemorate "1000 days of Putin's war against Ukraine." He highlighted that "experts discussed the consequences of a Russian victory and made it clear that we must help Ukraine win and save Democracy across Eastern Europe."
In a tweet dated November 20, 2024, Quigley expressed his support for Congresswoman-elect McBride against what he described as a "hateful and unnecessary effort." He emphasized that "she deserves the same rights as everyone else—period. We must ensure that trans Americans are protected from these cruel attacks."
On the same day, Quigley criticized Tulsi Gabbard in another post. He labeled her as "a Kremlin media darling who cannot be trusted," urging the Senate to prioritize "protecting America’s safety" over "catering to Donald Trump."
