Tiger King’s Joe Exotic is heated that he’s still sitting in the slammer after having high expectations that Trump would pardon him before he left office.

Exotic, real name Joseph Allen Maldonado-Passage, took to Twitter to release a statement on Trump who refused to commute his sentence in a murder-for-hire plot against his archrival, Carol Baskin, claiming he was denied for being “too gay” for the President.
“I was too innocent and too GAY to deserve a Pardon from Trump. I only mattered to Don Jr. when he needed to make a comment about me to boost his social media post,” the post from Exotic’s account reads. Boy were we all stupid to believe he actually stood for Equal Justice? His corrupt friends all come first,” it continues. Meanwhile, Baskin is ecstatic that he will remain in prison. In a statement to Buzzfeed News, Baskin said it would have been outrageous “for anyone to pardon someone who walked up to five tigers and shot them in the head in order to clear cage space for the circus.” She added, lTigers are the world’s favorite animal and Joe Schreibvogel Maldonado Passage is right where he belongs: in a cage.”
Joe’s team had a limousine waiting outside his prison on Wednesday and he even pre-recorded a thank you video to send to Trump if he was pardoned. However, it looks like that will all now be thrown away.
