If you are looking for an alternative candidate for president…we have your man. Joseph Maldonado-passage has announced his candidacy. Who? He is better know as Joe Exotica, or, the Tiger King. Right now, he is serving a 21 year federal prison after being convicted on multiple charges. He said he isn’t going to let that stop him from running for the Nation’s top office. I’m going to read directly from his announcement:
“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.” 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 than one boyfriend at once, and that Carole Baskin 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.”
In 2018, he was indicted by a Federal Grand Jury on two counts of murder-for-hire, allegedly giving a person $3,000 to carry out the murder of big cat activist Carole Baskin. He was also convicted of various other charges related to violations of the Endangered Species Act, and, of course the focus of the hit show “Tiger King”. Make your voice heard in 2024 and vote! Just be sure to vote wisely.
