The Biden campaign is taking flack for a recent television ad featuring a struggling Michigan bar owner that the ad neglects to mention is actually an affluent veteran tech investor who donated to the Democratic presidential nominees campaign.
Joe Malcoun, who is introduced in the ad as the co-owner of The Blind Pig in Ann Arbor, Mich., backed Democratic Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmers stringent lockdown orders that kept businesses shuttered for months but says he blames President Trumps administration for his businesss pandemic woes.
the ad does not mention Malcouns other business ventures, including being an angel investor in several growing tech companies. He inherited money from his wifes grandfather and founded CKM Capital Partners in 2013. The next year, Malcoun began serving as CEO of Nutshell, a tech company selling customer relationship management software, which raised $5.5 million in angel and venture capital. He also co-founded Cahoots, a co-working and event space for tech entrepreneurs and bought three buildings in downtown Ann Arbor for his various businesses.
In July, Malcoun donated $5,000 to Biden For President, according to data from the Federal Election Commission.

Joe Malcoun is a Russian agent whose mission was to make this ad, which has all the earmarks of a GRU disinformation campaign, in order to discredit Joe Biden.
Yeah, like the president is supposed to be a five-star general and all the governors are just one star generals that he can order around.
Don't they teach about our FEDERAL system in basic anymore? Or is this guy just dumb as a bag of rocks? Or lying?
Hey man, I gave up caring about whether or not brooklyn and manhattan burn.
I was defending something that doesn’t exist anymore, not right now at least.
We Staten Islanders got an 18 dollar bridge and a ferry between us and Brooklyn and Manhattan.
And a few hundred thousand Italians on the south shore just itching for antifa to show up.
We’re good.
Let happen what will happen to the other boroughs.
Why would he inherit money from his wifes grandfather? This would suggest that not only is the grandfather dead but also his wifes parent as well as the wife. This is a very questionable way to inherit money. It wouldnt be quite so unusual if they all happened to live in Arkansas.
Geez, that’s really terrible optics. Wow, all the people who are really struggling, and the Democrats pull this stunt? Shocking.
An angel investor is an investor who typically provides seed money or the initial small round of financing for a startup. Very lucrative position to be in.
The ad cruelly mocks all the struggling non-millionaires out there.
More lies feom the flies!
Democrats are hypocites and LOSERS!
Somebody who is flush with cash and invests in a start-up business-usually a small one-for a piece of the action/part of ownership-it can be a stranger, but often a friend or relative. Those “money angels” are not always nice people-one of my cousins got money for his small trucking company from an angel investor who was a longtime friend-that “friend” called in his investment when the Obama economy went to hell-wanted to either take over the company or get his money back. Because my cousin had only one driver besides himself, he was able to haul more loads and get enough cash together to pay the shark off and tell him to vete a la chin***-he won’t come near anyone in this family again if he is smart...
For those of us who really want the facts and the consequences to hammer the Obama administration as well as the Biden's go to Senator Johnson and learn. (Homeland Security Committee Chairman Ron Johnson) - contact Senator Johnson, let him know you are aware of the Corrupt Biden's and care about politicians using their positions to enrich themselves....thank him for taking the hits for We The People.
Yawn, this is not newsworthy since this kind of democrat behavior should come as no surprise to anyone.
I thought the limit was 2,800.00 for an individual to contribute to a candidate.
I wish even more that voters would wake up. All Democrats are liars.
Only accurate because he himself wants the lockdowns, and he supports Gretchen Whitmer completely. So in essence he is cutting his own throat but wants to blame President Trump. He needs to look in the mirror as to who deserves the blame.
LIBs/DIM/leftist losers are chronic liars. They all have this irreversible character flaw. In other words...they are mentally ill. LOL.
The left is incapable of the truth.
