Remember Ed Buck? He’s that democratic party megadonor who kept picking up black men, overdosing them with meth, and raping them to death. He’s an Elizabeth Warren supporter and she’s damn proud about it. Making this the most Fauxcahontas story ever, when busted for bragging about Buck’s support, Warren’s campaign lied and blamed it on an error by former Obama staffers. Pretending to be Indian, praising a sexual predator, and blaming a black man is not a good look for someone trying to be the democratic party nominee.
Let’s start with Fox News:
Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s campaign raised eyebrows after announcing that Ed Buck, an accused sexual predator and former megadonor for the Democrats, was among hundreds of Obama-era figures who endorsed her candidacy.
It was first reported Wednesday by CNN that Warren, D-Mass., was being backed by over 200 campaign aides and administration officials under former President Obama, all of whom signed a letter announcing their support for the progressive candidate in an effort organized by former senior Obama aides Sara El-Amine and Jon Carson. CNN highlighted some names on the list, including former U.S. Ambassador to Syria Robert Ford and former USAID official Sean Carroll.
However, CNN failed to highlight signature #39, which belonged “Edward P. B. Buck” and was listed as an alum of Obama’s 2012 campaign. He’s better known as the activist who gave hundreds of thousands of dollars to causes championed by the Democrats, and who made headlines in 2017 after two men died of overdoses in his West Hollywood, Calif., home.
Warren had boasted the CNN article on her Twitter and Facebook pages.
I’m grateful to have the support of these Obama campaign alumni and my fellow Obama administration alumni. Their work changed what we know is possible in our politics. Together, we can win in 2020 and build a government that works for everyone. https://t.co/BPlavS9uSz

When it was pointed out that Ed Buck was on this list Warren is so proud of, the spinning began:
Warren campaign spokesman Chris Hayden told Fox News, “This was a mistake considering Ed Buck was not staff or an alum. 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.”
Max Berger, another Warren aide, went even further, claiming that someone added “fake names” to the list.
“This was compiled by volunteers from the Obama network,” Berger [said]. “Someone added fake names to the list. The volunteers caught most of them. They obviously missed one.”
You got that? According to Warren’s people, this was a mistake caused by Obama’s people, not hers.
But wait, what’s this? The Washington Examiner found out it was Warren’s people all along:
Elizabeth Warren’s presidential campaign insisted that alleged serial predator Ed Buck landed on a list of people endorsing her for president because it was compiled by an outside group of Obama campaign and administration alumni.
But an email obtained by the Washington Examiner shows otherwise.
A Dec. 12 email, however, shows that Warren’s South Carolina deputy state director, Christina Cue, asking various Obama alumni to sign up for the list.
The email reads: “I wanted to reach out to you to join the Obama Alumni for Warren group. Please click here if you’re ready to pledge your support to Dream Big and Fight Hard with Sen. Warren.”
So it wasn’t Obama’s people putting fake names on the list, it was Warren’s people compiling the list and not giving a shit that there was a sexual predator killer on it.
Do you think some of these Obama alumni may want to take their name off the list of support considering Warren just threw them under the bus.
Elizabeth Warren lied about having Native American ancestry. She lied about using her Indian lie to advance her academic career. She lied about getting fired from a teaching job because she was pregnant. She lied about her son attending public school when he really went to an expensive private academy. Now she’s lying about Obama’s people trying to submarine her campaign.
Democrats already tried running an unlikable female liar in 2016 and that didn’t work out too well. Maybe this time around they should go with a communist with a heart condition or a thousand-year-old dude who likes it when kids rub his hairy legs in the swimming pool.
