This may not have been the endorsement Elizabeth Warren was
looking for.

Ahead of Thursday night�s sixth Democratic presidential debate,
the Massachusetts senator�s presidential campaign trumpeted a
list of endorsements from figures associated with President
Obama�s campaign and administration � including alleged
�dangerous sexual predator� Ed Buck.

�I�m grateful to have the support of these Obama campaign alumni
and my fellow Obama administration alumni,� tweeted Warren on
Wednesday, linking to a CNN article about more than 200 Obama-
linked figures signing on to back the Massachusetts senator in
2020.

But a closer look at the list reveals an �Edward B. P. Buck� �
apparently the disgraced Democratic mega-donor charged with
forcing lethal doses of drugs on multiple lovers at this West
Hollywood home.

The first death came in 2017, when Gemmel Moore, a 26-year-old
homeless male prostitute, suffered a fatal crystal meth overdose
in Buck�s home.

Buck at first dodged charges in that death � as he initially did
in January 2019 when a second man, Timothy Dean, 55, died in the
home of a meth overdose.

But when a third man, 37, suffered a non-fatal overdose at the
home in September, Buck was arrested on charges of battery,
administering methamphetamine and maintaining a drug house, with
prosecutors blasting him as a �violent, dangerous sexual
predator� in court papers.

Since charged in the deaths of both Moore and Dean, Buck has
maintained his innocence.

Warren�s campaign said in a statement that the list was compiled
by former figures in the Obama camp, and that Buck never should
have been included because, while he donated to Obama, he was
neither a staffer nor an alum of the campaign.

�This was a mistake considering Ed Buck was not staff or an
alum,� said campaign spokesman Chris Hayden. �This was put
together via Google Doc by some Obama alums and they caught some
non-staff that populated the list but obviously they missed one.

�They are removing it.�

Warren is one of seven hopefuls for the Democratic presidential
nominee set to compete Thursday night in the sixth round of nationally-televised debates.
