Joe Exotic slammed President wait, wait former President Donald Trump for not giving him a pardon on Wednesday.
Netflix's Tiger King star was expecting clemency from Trump, and even had a stretch limo standing by outside his prison in Fort Worth, Texas. Trump handed out 73 pardons and 70 commutations to an assortment of white-collar criminals, cronies and rappers (such as Lil Wayne and Kodak Black) but not to the infamous zookeeper.
"I was too innocent and too GAY to deserve a Pardon from Trump," the 57-year-old Exotic, a.k.a. Joseph Maldonado-Passage, wrote on Twitter. "I only mattered to Don Jr. when he needed to make a comment about me to boost his social media post. Boy were we all stupid to believe he actually stood for Equal Justice? His corrupt friends all come first."
