A Michigan music venue owner featured in a Joe Biden ad campaign lamenting his struggles to survive during coronavirus restrictions is actually a wealthy tech investor — who supported local lockdowns, according to reports.

Joe Malcoun was featured in the heart-tugging Biden ad that aired during NFL games Sunday complaining about the chances of his Ann Arbor bar and music venue, the Blind Pig, surviving the pandemic.

“This is the reality of Trump’s COVID response … This is Donald Trump’s economy,” he said.

It soon made him “the go-to guy when it came to seeking investments,” the local news outlet said, helping companies raise millions.

“No matter what precautions we take or whether or not we’re doing the legal thing, if we can’t communicate to the community the main intention of being safe, it’s not worth it,” he said in June

“Now that we tried it and saw it’s really hard to communicate what it means to have a really socially distanced and live music show, we decided it’s not really worth trying

“My sense is that it’s going to be a while,” said Malcoun, who has donated thousands of dollars to support Biden’s campaign, Fox News said, citing local records

Neither the Biden campaign nor Malcoun responded to Fox’s requests for comment
