It was only three years ago that the world stopped and in a bizarre feat of community, we all turned towards Tiger King for comfort. It’s been a long three years, but that hasn’t stopped the man known as Joe Exotic from still trying to cling to headlines. While locked up in the midst of a 21-year federal sentence, the COVID-era-icon took to his campaign website to say, “Thank you for your interest in my Campaign. Yes, I know I am in Federal Prison and you might think this is a joke but it’s not. It is my Constitutional right to do this even from here.”
He continued, “So put aside that I am gay, that I am in prison for now, that I used drugs in the past, that I had more then one boyfriend at once and that Carole hates my guts. This all has not a thing to do with me being able to be your voice. The best thing you have going for supporting me is that I am used to fighting my whole life just to get by. I am broke, they have taken everything I ever worked for away, and it’s time we take this country back.”
