Tiger King star Carole Baskin has responded to the news that Exotic Joe, (Joseph Maldonado-Passage) is running for president in 2024.

Actually, he has a strong campaign message to stop corruption and some folks might feel that he’s onto something that needs serious attention.

Tiger King – On Netflix Was Popular But Controversial

These days, social media is full of opinions about Donald Trump and President Joe Biden. But it’s not that long ago that it was all about Exotic Joe and Carole Baskin. Almost as equally despised as both politicians, Netflix fans were very divided over their story. Many folks believe that Carole plotted to kill her own husband. Meanwhile, others slammed Exotic Joe for killing tigers. Possibly more people were upset about that than the fact that he ended up in prison for allegedly trying to kill Carole.

Although Tiger King has faded from memory, the cast managed to stay in the news. In fact, there was an outcry when Carole Baskin was cast for Dancing with the Stars when it still aired on ABC. Meanwhile, the news emerged from prison that Exotic Joe was diagnosed with prostate cancer. Now he wants to run the USA as president and he’s slinging some mud at Carole for killing big cats.

Tiger King – Exotic Joe Outlines Campaign Message

A few years ago, Carole Baskin, who seems to loathe Exotic Joe, claimed that Netflix was so lacking in journalistic ethics” that they created “false perceptions of the characters” through the use of “clever editing.” Ironically, Exotic Joe might agree with her on that point. The difference is she is free and he sits in federal prison, claiming he was set up by the FBI and others. Actually, he claims he runs for president in 2024 but the chances of winning seem slim, seeing he confessed that he’s broke.

It is my Constitutional right to do this even from here.” Next, he bashed the authorities, saying, “I have been put here only because of the corruption in the Department of Justice, three felons that were told how to lie under oath to further this agenda, two corrupt Assistant U.S. Attorneys, two corrupt FBI Agents. and one corrupt Federal Wildlife Agent.
