==Ed Buck==
The story of Ed Buck, a major California-based Democrat donor, is illustrative. Buck has contributed heavily to Democrats in the [[Los Angeles]] area, as well as to more prominent politicians such as Sen. [[Kyrsten Sinema]] (D., Ariz.), Rep. [[Ted Lieu]] (D., Calif.) and House Intelligence Committee chair [[Adam Schiff]].<ref>https://losangeles.cbslocal.com/2019/02/06/ed-buck-political-donations/</ref> In 2017 two gay black men were found dead in Buck's home just months apart. Following the deaths, a number of young gay black men came forward and said that Buck has a "fetish for shooting drugs into black men he picks up off the street or hookup sites." A mother of one of the deceased filed a civil suit against Buck accusing the liberal donor of human trafficking and revenge porn, CBS News reports. The wrongful death suit was filed after the heavily Democratic area district attorney's office said there was insufficient evidence to bring charges against Buck.<ref>https://freebeacon.com/politics/dem-donor-accused-of-human-trafficking-and-revenge-porn/</ref>
