Bain Capital Chairman Donates Big Money to Biden Super PAC
Breitbart ^ | May 21 2020 | HARIS ALIC

Posted on 05/21/2020 4:36:35 PM PDT by knighthawk

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.

Let's see, wasn't Mitt Romney (D-Kolob) associated with Bain Capital?

Romney’s alma mater Bain (useless regurgitated consulting agency) Consulting.... Bahhhhston— home of the Biden’s funding from “good ole” “he looks (looked) like a kennedy” (sigh). And those aviator shades show he’s in charge like an air boss on a carrier. Yeah, right.

Mitt Romney has been floated as a replacement for the November election (replacing Joe "I'll be dead Bi'den")

Now remember, Democrats were told, in excruciating detail how Mitt Romney was the spawn of Satan in 2012. The marketing geniuses at the DNC will have to walk that back, and tell us how wonderful he is now. Good Luck.

On the other side, Romney turns the collective stomachs of most Republicans. Even Republicans who had reservations about Donald Trump in 2016 are on board.

That just leaves the hard core "Never Trumpers". Not exactly the base you want to mount a campaign upon.

Bain Capital is one of the major holders of IHeart Media, which has turned Local Radio into an ATM for them. They have decimated local programming and cut staff to the bone. We have 5 stations and ONE live on-air person.

You may be right. Never got over his loss to Obozo and he is supremely jealous of Trump.

Could it be that Bain Capital has ties to Russian money?

Bain Capital, the infamous venture capital firm excoriated by Democrats

Every big business is excoriated until they pay their dues (political contributions to DNC)

We always read about the big fat cat donors for the Dems. I wonder if we have any big fat donors on our side for President Trump?

Chinese $$$$$$$$... Romney got a very profitable retirement deal when he publicly left Bain... Romney’s first love is money. He could care less about Americans. He got rich while hard working Americans were sold out. A truly depraved mind. He fits that parable of Lazarus and the rich man...
