Lelo's Elisashvili: Joe Wilson is 'golden man'; I like him so much that I would slaughter bull when he visits Georgia
“Joe Wilson is a golden man; he clearly loves Georgia. I like him so much that when he visits Georgia, I feel compelled to slaughter a bull in his honour,” said Aleko Elisashvili, one of the leaders of the Lelo-Strong Georgia coalition.
According to him, lobbying in the U.S. is not offensive; it is a legal activity. Joe Wilson respects Georgia, and he does care what happens in the country.
Joe Wilson is a golden man; it’s clear he loves Georgia. I like him so much that whenever he visits Georgia, I feel compelled to slaughter a bull in his honour. Regarding the Georgian Dream’s talk about Joe Wilson being a lobbyist, firstly, lobbying in America is not considered offensive; it’s a legal activity. I don’t know whether he is lobbying or not lobbying. My impression is that he simply respects Georgia and is particularly concerned with what happens there.
His initiative and efforts are extraordinary, as no one should endorse this traitorous government. It will be very difficult for me to say whether they will accept this bill or not. One thing is certain: Trump and his administration have been in power for over six months and are struggling with numerous problems, so they have yet to be able to assist us. I am confident they will do so effectively; the key is to resist and fight. After that, support from the United States will follow,” said Aleko Elisashvili.
Republican Congressman Joe Wilson has introduced a proposal to amend the so-called Georgian Nightmare Non-Recognition Act within the U.S. State Department’s upcoming Authorisation Act.
