Joe Exotic says Carole Baskin getting his zoo is a 'treachery' that 'must not go unchecked' - CNN

"While we again acknowledge it is truly time to pray for justice for George Floyd's family as well as an end to systemic racism in America, we must address Carol [sic] Baskin's treachery before it goes unchecked," a tweet from an account run by Maldonado-Passage's management team read.

His team released a longer statement on the website "Help Free Joe," in which the "Joe Exotic Team" said it "prays for justice for George Floyd's family as well as an end to systemic racism in America."

A few lines later, the statement said Maldonado-Passage's legal team is filing appeals while his media team drums up public support.
