Joe Wilson, a long-serving member of the U.S. Congress representing South Carolina’s 2nd district, shared his views on several international issues through social media posts on February 21, 2025. Wilson has been vocal about electoral integrity and democracy in various countries.

In a post made at 14:28 UTC, Wilson expressed gratitude for addressing the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe Parliamentary Assembly (OSCEPA) regarding the elections in Georgia. He stated that only 34,000 out of a million Georgians living abroad were permitted to vote. Wilson urged the OSCEPA to focus solely on advocating for free and fair elections while rejecting what he termed as the illegitimate Georgian Dream delegation at the upcoming June session. "Grateful to address @oscepa regarding the rigged elections in Georgia. Only 34,000 of the million Georgians living abroad were allowed to vote. @oscepa must exclusively focus on calling for free and fair elections and reject the illegitimate GD delegation at the June session!"

Later that day at 14:59 UTC, Wilson highlighted political figures from Pakistan, Georgia, and Tunisia in another tweet. He called for restoring democracy in these nations by mentioning Asim Munir in Pakistan, Bidzina Ivanishvili in Georgia, and Kais Saied in Tunisia. "Asim Munir in Pakistan Bidzina Ivanishvili in Georgia Kais Saied in Tunisia Restore democracy!"

At 16:45 UTC, Wilson posted about his meeting with Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi. The discussion centered around Syria's situation where over 90% of people live below the poverty line. He commended Jordan's efforts towards aiding Syrians and supporting democracy and human rights within Syria. "Grateful to meet Jordanian FM @AymanHsafadi with important discussions on Syria. I appreciate Jordan’s efforts to help the people of Syria, over 90% of which live in poverty, and to support democracy and human rights in Syria."
