Joe Exotic slams Trump for not pardoning him: 'I'm too innocent and too gay'

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."

Exotic is serving a 22-year sentence for participating in a murder-for-hire plot and violation of wildlife laws.
