Don’t Take Chris Christie Out to the Ball Game

New Jersey Governor Chris Christie went to a Brewers and Cubs game in Milwaukee last night and was subjected to some heckling from fellow attendees. One, Brad Joseph, got into a bit of a confrontation with Christie. According to Joseph, “I called him a hypocrite because I thought it needed to be said. He then turned around and walked all the way back toward me and got up in my face for what seemed like a long time, but was probably only about 30 seconds.”

Joseph’s friend, a local reporter named Ben Hutchinson, recorded a video of the end of the interaction.

Recently, Christie made headlines after he was spotted hanging out at the beach after ordering a New Jersey government shutdown that shuttered beaches to the public. Maybe he should just avoid leisure activities for a bit?
