Joe Wilson, a member of the U.S. Congress representing South Carolina's 2nd district since 2001, recently shared several statements on social media. Born in Charleston, South Carolina, in 1947 and residing in Springdale, Wilson has a background in law with degrees from Washington and Lee University and the University of South Carolina.

On February 1, 2025, Joe Wilson expressed gratitude towards PACE_News for their decision regarding Georgia's political situation. He stated: "I am grateful that @PACE_News has rejected and isolated the illegitimate Georgian Dream delegation. All institutions and countries must! The only way forward is free and fair elections."

Later that day, Wilson questioned financial oversight concerning foreign policy expenditures. He posted: "Can @DOGE do an audit of how many taxpayer dollars go to Iranian regime-backed terrorist militias in Iraq?" This tweet suggests his concern over U.S. funds potentially supporting groups associated with Iran.

In another post on the same date, Wilson made predictions about geopolitical changes involving Iran's influence in various regions. He tweeted: "Syria was first Next is Iraq Then Tunisia Then the Houthis Iran’s puppets will all fall You too Ivanishvili" This indicates his view on the future decline of Iranian influence across several Middle Eastern countries.
