Joe Wilson, a member of the U.S. Congress representing South Carolina's 2nd district, has recently expressed his views on Tunisian politics and national celebrations through a series of tweets. Wilson, who succeeded Floyd Spence in 2001 and has served since then, voiced his concerns about the political situation in Tunisia and shared a celebratory message regarding an American holiday.

On February 9, 2025, Joe Wilson criticized Tunisian leader Kais Saied by stating that "Dictator Kais Saied is undermining Tunisian sovereignty working with dictators abroad to deny the Tunisian people their freedoms." He urged Saied to respect the people of Tunisia and restore democracy.

Later that day, at 16:47 UTC, Wilson questioned Saied's credentials as a constitutional law professor. He tweeted: "Somehow Tunisian dictator Saied was a 'constitutional law professor' Either he learned nothing or he got his law degree from Rule of Gun university? Tyrant Kais, reinstate the constitution! Free and fair elections!"

In another tweet posted on February 9 at 22:56 UTC, Wilson celebrated Gulf of America Day with enthusiasm. He shared: "Happy Gulf of America Day Everyone!! "
