US Congressman Joe Wilson criticizes Georgian Gov’t over announced opposition ban

Republican Congressman Joe Wilson has strongly criticized the Georgian government, accusing it of criminalizing the United States and banning opposition parties to maintain power.

In a post on X, Wilson stated:

“Pathetic that the Ivanishvili regime has resorted to criminalizing America and banning opposition parties to cling to stolen power. The Georgian people will not allow their beautiful country to be stripped for parts by the CCP to line Bidzina’s pockets. Freedom will prevail.”

Wilson’s remarks come amid growing international concern over political developments in Georgia, where the ruling party has faced accusations of democratic backsliding. The congressman has been a vocal critic of Bidzina Ivanishvili, the founder of the ruling Georgian Dream party, and his alleged ties to Russia and China.

Pathetic that the Ivanishvili regime has resorted to criminalizing America and banning opposition parties to cling to stolen power. The Georgian people will not allow their beautiful country to be stripped for parts by the CCP to line Bidzina’s pockets. Freedom will prevail. …
