Since the release of Tiger King, many random social media posts involving Joe Exotic have gone viral, and this one from Marilyn Manson will likely be added to that ever-growing list.

Manson shared a screenshot of a message he received from Exotic on January 16, 2018 seeking Manson's endorsement during his campaign running for Governor of Oklahoma. Exotic's message reads, "Hey. Thanks for the follow. I'm running for Governor of Oklahoma and trying to speak for the real people for a change and get some people help with addiction in this State that no one cares about. Would you endorse me? Not asking for money. Just to use your name as an endorsement."

While it's unclear whether he replied to Exotic at all, Manson did share the message on Instagram with the caption, "Nope. Don't f*ck with cats."
