Wilson contributed to the creation of an advertisement that attacked Cleland and linked him to Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden. The advertisement made Cleland’s patriotism seem in doubt.
In June 2020, Wilson replied to a Domino’s Pizza tweet from 2012 in which the company thanked then-college student and White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany for believing that Domino’s pizza was superior to New York-style pizza.
In his tweet, Wilson wrote, “You just killed your brand.” This later prompted a response from Domino’s Pizza’s official Twitter account, saying “Welp. It’s unfortunate that thanking a customer for a compliment back in 2012 would be viewed as political. Guess that’s 2020 for ya.” According to The Daily Dot, “Domino’s response immediately went viral”; however, it also credited Wilson for not deleting the tweet “despite the unrelenting onslaught of mockery” directed at him.
