Joe Exotic Of ‘Tiger King’ Believes He Was ‘Too Gay’ To Receive Trump Pardon
WaPo ^ | 1/21/21 | Curtis M. Wong

Joe Exotic offered a sharp rebuke of Donald Trump this week after he failed to secure a presidential pardon.

The star of the Netflix series “Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness” is serving a 22-year sentence after being convicted of plotting to murder longtime rival and animal rights activist Carole Baskin, as well as violating federal wildlife laws. The former zookeeper was said to have been so confident he’d be included on Trump’s clemency list that his legal team had ordered a limousine to retrieve him from a Fort Worth prison.

But when Trump issued 144 pardons and commutations just hours before his term ended Wednesday, Exotic ― whose real name is Joseph Maldonado-Passage ― was not included. The 57-year-old expressed his frustrations on Twitter, implying that his sexuality may have played a factor in the former president’s decision.

“I was too innocent and too GAY to deserve a Pardon from Trump,” he tweeted Wednesday afternoon. Referencing a meme shared by Donald Trump Jr. in March that showed his father’s head superimposed on Exotic’s mugshot, he added, “Boy were we all stupid to believe he actually stood for Equal Justice? His corrupt friends all come first.”

Suggest you do a little more research on Carole Baskin.

Things were not as the show made them appear.

“...Suggest you do a little more research on Carole Baskin.

Would you accept having worked in the exotic animal from 1989-onwards, specifically with big cats and other carnivores, as well as being on the research side, and having had interactions, both direct and indirect with Carole all the way back to when she was Carole Lewis as perhaps “knowing a few things about both Carole and Joe” and perhaps having done a bit of “research” via direct, personal experience? Yeah, not only did Tiger King pretty much peg Carole for *exactly* who and what she is, most folks, who have had *any* sort of dealings with her think it actually went pretty soft on her.

As for Joe? He does an *outstanding* job of making himself look bad without any outside help. I’ve never had much use for him, but with regard to the alleged plot against Carole, a lot of folks in the big cat community (myself included), things the whole thing stinks to high heaven of entrapment.

Wow. Thank you very much for sharing your perspective. It is a great example of how deep and authentic Free Republic is as a community and not just some website full of people yelling 😁 It always makes me smile when someone gets to share or opine about a relevant topic like this. Much obliged 🧐

2020 with Joe Exotic and Covid were screwed up but 2021-2024 will make it seem like a cake walk.

Yo Monkey Boi...the President Trump “sharp rebuke” line forms on the left. And it’s a long one, so expect to wait a while. But hey...what else you got to do while Bubba’s slammin’ ya from behind in your cozy prison cell, right?

Well, if anyone is too gay, he’d be your guy.
