Ed Buck donors

In 2010, Ed Buck reportedly heckled then-California Republican Gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman, and was confronted by then New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie. From the article, posted at nj.com:[9]

"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.

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.'"
