I think he’s the only one shocked…
From TMZ:
The Tiger King is not free to run wild again … President Trump snubbed Joe Exotic’s request to be pardoned, and he and his team aren’t taking it well.
What seemingly started as a pipe dream way back in April 2020 — when Trump said he’d “take a look” at pardoning Joe — turned out to be exactly that. Joe’s team tells TMZ … “140 million Joe Exotic fans had a hard time getting out of bed this morning.”
Yeah, that ‘Tiger King’ viewers stat might be inflated — and assumes all of them were rooting for Joe’s release — but you get the point … they’re bummed.
His team added, “We are as disappointed that the President did not sign Joe’s pardon, as we were confident yesterday that he would.” Joe’s team adds … it’s only because of his fans that the pardon was even a possibility.
Team Tiger says they’re not giving up though … and spent 2 hours on the phone with Joe this morning listening to his Direct Appeal Oral Arguments. Love says they “will never leave Joe’s side and will continue to work until his freedom is gained.”
