New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie was in California yesterday stumping for Meg “$$$” Whitman, when guess what happens?
Another goddamn heckler interrupts and starts offending Meg Whitman‘s honor! Luckily, Chris Christie was there to intervene and chew out the vulgarian.
This heckler shouted the strangest things at Meg Whitman. He was calling her either a (1) fake, dishonest Republican or a (2) big ol’ lesbian, or maybe (3) something else:
Christie was concluding a town hall meeting with Whitman when an angry audience member criticized her for not taking questions.
“What are you hiding?” shouted Ed Buck, in jeans and a light shirt in the front row of the 400-person event. “You’re looking like Arnold in a dress,” he said in a reference to outgoing California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Christie was left with no choice but to eat this person:
Before Whitman could respond, Christie stepped down from the stage and got in Buck’s face.
“Hey, listen. You know what. You want to yell, yell at me,” Christie said, shutting down Buck as Christie’s bodyguards calmly but quickly approached the two men. “It’s people who raise their voices and yell and scream like you who are dividing this country. We’re here to bring this country together.”
So: Is Chris Christie in love with Meg Whitman, or just Meg Whitman’s money?
