Joe Wilson, a member of the U.S. Congress representing South Carolina’s 2nd district since 2001, shared a series of posts on September 4, 2025, addressing foreign policy issues in the Middle East and Eurasia as well as legislative efforts regarding Iranian militias.
In a post published at 00:02 UTC, Wilson wrote: “As a friend of Israel, I was grateful to speak with @AmichaiStein1 about my recent trip to Syria and efforts to repeal the Caesar Act. A unified and stable Syria benefits Israel, the region, and the world. A fractured Syria will lead to a resurgence of ISIS and Iranian-backed”.
Later that morning at 11:55 UTC, Wilson criticized the ruling party in Georgia, stating: “Once again, the anti-American Georgian Dream regime insults President Trump in its vile propaganda! In reality, the regime is handing Georgia over to Communist China, Iran & Russia, banning freedom speech, and imprisoning opposition. Strongly against U.S. interests! #MEGOBARI”.
In another post at 12:37 UTC on September 4th, Wilson highlighted Congressional action against Iranian militias: “I am grateful that for the past two years Congress passed UNPRECEDENTED funding prohibitions — directly and indirectly — on Iranian militias in Iraq into law in the NDAA. I was grateful to support this language led by @SenatorBanks for the past few years however the Biden”.
