Joe Wilson, a U.S. Congressman representing South Carolina's 2nd district, shared his thoughts on recent international and domestic matters through a series of tweets. Wilson has been serving in Congress since 2001 after succeeding Floyd Spence and previously served in the South Carolina Senate from 1985 to 2001.

On March 17, 2025, Wilson expressed gratitude for a meeting between U.S. Ambassador to Georgia Robin Dunnigan and Salome Zourabichvili, whom he referred to as the Legitimate President of Georgia. He emphasized that "The only way forward is free and fair elections!"

The following day, March 18, Wilson announced plans to introduce new legislation called the Maximum Support Act aimed at supporting the Iranian people. In his tweet, he stated, "The Iranian people do not want war, the regime demands it." The act intends to empower Iranians in their pursuit of freedom.

Later on March 18, Wilson thanked Republican Policy Chairman Kevin Hern for backing H.R. 1232. In this message, he argued that "American workers should never be forced to pay labor union dues."
