Tiger King Joe Exotic attacked former President Donald Trump after being passed over for a pardon on Wednesday – claiming he was denied for being “too gay” for the president.
TIGER KING’S CAROLE BASKIN ‘RELIEVED’ TRUMP FAILED IN FORGIVENESS JOE EXOTIC: ‘HE BELONGS BEHIND BARS’
Exotic, real name Joseph Allen Maldonado-Passage, released the statement on his Twitter account on Wednesday afternoon, furious with Trump for refusing to commute his sentence in a rental murder plot against his archrival, Carol Baskin.
“I was too innocent and too GAY to deserve a pardon from Trump. I only mattered to Don Jr. when he needed to comment on me to boost his post on social media,” Exotic account posting reads.
“Boy, were we all stupid to believe that he really stood up for Equal Justice? All your corrupt friends come first, ”he continues.

Exotic served a year of his sentence of more than 20 years for trying to hire a murderer to massacre Baskin.
His supporters were so confident that he would be included on Trump’s list of pardons and conducts that they rented a limo to pick him up from prison on Wednesday.
“We are confident that we already have a limo parked about eight hundred meters from the prison. We are really in action now,” Exotic supporter Eric Love told Metro.co.uk.

They also pre-recorded a thank you video to send to Trump if Exotic was forgiven.
“We put him in line and ready to go,” Love told Metro. “As soon as we have the floor, we will transmit this video to the White House and thank them.”
