Jailed reality TV star Joe Exotic rips Trump Chrisley pardons

(The Hill) – “Tiger King’s” Joe Exotic is voicing his frustration with President Trump again for pardoning reality stars Todd and Julie Chrisley of their fraud and tax evasion charges and not offering him the same.

“You are either rich and connected or your poor and being trafficked by the system,” Exotic, whose real name is Joseph Maldonado, said in one of many posts criticizing the clemency, which were uploaded on his Instagram account on Tuesday.

“I guess being innocent is not enough in America,” he wrote in another post, this one shared on social platform X. “They all admitted to perjury on world television but yet I’m left to die of cancer before I can get any help.”
