“For 50 years, The Blind Pig has been open and crowded – but right now it’s an empty room,” says Malcoun in the ad. “This is the reality of Trump’s COVID response.”

“We don’t know how much longer we can survive not having any revenue. A lot of restaurants, bars that have been mainstays for years will not make it through this. This is Donald Trump’s economy,” he continued. “There’s no plan, you don’t know how to move forward. It makes me so angry. My only hope for my family and this business and my community is that Joe Biden wins this election. That’s the kind of person we need.”

Malcoun, interestingly enough, also supported Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmier’s COVID-19 stay-at-home orders which forced businesses like Malcoun’s to shut their doors. In April, he tweeted the governor was “doing it right” in continuing lockdown measures.

Fox News writes:

After inheriting money from his wife’s grandfather, which he likened to “winning the lottery,” Malcoun said he founded CKM Capital Partners in 2013 and eventually became an “angel investor” in local tech companies, according to a 2018 interview with Click On Detroit.

He’s also served as CEO of Nutshell, a customer relationship management software company, since 2014, and under his leadership, the firm raised at least $5.5 million in angel and venture capital, according to his Crain’s Detroit Business 40 under 40 profile.

Malcoun also co-founded Cahoots, a co-working tech hub, and purchased three buildings in downtown Ann Arbor to host entrepreneurs.

According to Federal Election Commission data, Malcoun donated $5,000 to Biden For President in July.

Malcoun responded to reports about his background, saying the story “is not about me or any individual.”

“I am the mechanism for telling a story on behalf of thousands of others,” he tweeted. “Right now thousands of venue employees and musicians are out of work and millions of fans were robbed of live music experiences. That is the real tragedy.

In a pathetic attempt to appeal to smear President Trump and score with working-class voters, the Biden campaign released an ad featuring a struggling bar owner who also just so happens to be a wealthy tech investor.

The latter information, of course, was conveniently omitted from the Biden commercial.

Fox News reports that the ad first aired on Sunday on CBS during NFL games and features Joe Malcoun, who is listed as the co-owner of the popular Michigan bar, The Blind Pig, as he blames President Trump for his failing business.

“For 50 years, The Blind Pig has been open and crowded – but right now it’s an empty room,” says Malcoun in the ad. “This is the reality of Trump’s COVID response.”

“We don’t know how much longer we can survive not having any revenue. A lot of restaurants, bars that have been mainstays for years will not make it through this.
