        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>He&#8217;s accused of being a virtual Meow Zedong.</p><p>A week after his much buzzed about <strong>FaceTime session with Shaquille O&#8217;Neal</strong>, controversial <strong>&#8220;Tiger King&#8221;</strong> co-star Jeff Lowe is going viral again by appearing to praise communism online. The big cat wrangler&#8217;s proletarian proclamation has made the rounds on both <strong>Reddit</strong> and <a href="https://twitter.com/BaileyCarlin/status/1245463958049390592" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Twitter</a>, where it has racked up more than 4 million views on at least <a href="https://twitter.com/shafieikeyvan/status/1245412838543425537" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">two separate accounts</a> — and ignited flabbergasted responses from the social-media masses.</p><p>&#8220;Workers of the world unite&#8221; proclaims Lowe in the 30-second Twitter clip posted April 1, which depicts the motorcycle jacket-sporting zookeeper with his wife Lauren at an undisclosed location.</p><p>&#8220;With the next financial crisis in full swing the collapse of global capitalism is all but inevitable,&#8221; says Lowe, adding that viewers can take comfort knowing that &#8220;communism will rise from its ashes.&#8221;</p><p>&#8220;We will defeat the billionaires and take America back,&#8221; says Lowe, who took over the <strong>Greater Wynnewood Exotic Animal Park</strong> in Oklahoma from former &#8220;Tiger King&#8221; co-star and ex-business partner Joe Exotic. The flamboyant star of Netflix&#8217;s hit docuseries famously sued Lowe for $96 million <strong>over allegedly setting him up</strong> in a murder-for-hire plot, and other charges that resulted in the disgraced &#8220;Tiger King&#8221; getting <strong>slapped with a 22-year prison</strong> sentence.</p><p>The cat-loving comrade concludes his Marxist tirade by perplexingly telling viewers to &#8220;watch Season 2&#8221; of &#8220;Tiger King,&#8221; which has yet to be announced. It&#8217;s an odd plug as the tiger tamer memorably dubbed his portrayal in the series as &#8220;unfair&#8221; <a href="https://twitter.com/BaileyCarlin/status/1245478175662112776" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">in an interview</a> with People magazine.</p><p>Lowe didn&#8217;t respond to The Post&#8217;s request for comment.</p><p>The tiger Twitterati, however, was quick to question Lowe&#8217;s apparent revolutionary leanings. &#8220;Comrade Jeff?&#8221; <a href="https://twitter.com/BaileyCarlin/status/1245466828572418049" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">asked one tweeter</a>.</p><p>&#8220;Never under any circumstance listen to a person wearing two head covering articles at the same time,&#8221; <a href="https://twitter.com/c_rettke/status/1245486130260316160" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">tweeted another, referencing Lowe&#8217;s</a> dual bandana style.</p><p>Even model <a href="https://twitter.com/chrissyteigen/status/1245466583792619521" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Chrissy Teigen chimed in</a>: &#8220;lmao what the.&#8221;</p><p>As it turns out, the communism-lauding clip was actually a Cameo, a <strong>service where people can pay celebrities</strong> to read a fan&#8217;s script on camera, no matter how absurd. The video appears to have been first <strong>posted on YouTube</strong> by actor-filmmaker <strong>Jonathan Daniel Brown</strong>, who tells The Post that he paid Lowe just $20 to read his pro-socialist message. Lowe, he claims, was quick to respond.</p><p>&#8220;Famous people will say anything for money,&#8221; says Brown, who says he devised Lowe&#8217;s Cameo performance to entertain him during the exorbitant downtime due to the coronavirus pandemic. He adds, &#8220;Jeff Lowe&#8217;s definitely not a communist — he took a zoo from a guy.&#8221;</p><p>Note: This would be far from the craziest thing the &#8220;Tiger King&#8221; co-star&#8217;s been involved in. Lowe was reportedly sued by Prince in 2007 for allegedly selling clothes using his trademarked symbol, <strong>reports Pop Culture</strong>. In 2018, the predator keeper was convicted of conducting business without a license while using forbidden wildlife as fodder for expensive photo shoots, <strong>reports KTNV.com.</strong></p>]]></content:encoded>
