The chairman of Bain Capital, the infamous venture capital firm excoriated by Democrats during the 2012 election for outsourcing American jobs, is putting big money behind a Super PAC working to elect former Vice President Joe Biden.
Joshua Bekenstein, who was one of the founders of the firm alongside Mitt Romney and now serves as its chairman, donated $250,000 to Unite the Country at the start of April, according to the Super PAC’s Federal Election Commission (FEC) filings. On the same day that donation was made, Bekenstein’s wife, Anita, contributed a further $250,000, raising the couple’s total to half a million dollars. Bekenstein and his wife have also each contributed the max amount of $5,600 to Biden’s official 2020 campaign.
The Bain chairman is not the only one from his firm supporting Biden, at least financially. A review of the former vice president’s FEC filings indicates at least eight other Bain executives have maxed out to Biden’s primary campaign since he entered the race last April. Among the lists are a number of high-ranking members of Bain’s leadership team, including Jonathan Lavine, the firm’s co-managing partner, and Ian Loring, one of its managing directors. Both Loring and Lavine have been with the firm since the early 1990s when Romney was at the helm.

Guess there won’t be many “Bain Capital” ads on Fox TV anymore. /Sarc or the truth?
Wow, that was Christie’s old job. She would have been 40 on the 27th. I really miss her.
