TRENTON, N.J. — New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie says he confronted a Chicago Cubs fan during Sunday’s game against the Milwaukee Brewers because the man said “some really lousy, awful stuff” with a lot of children around.
The Republican governor was caught on video nearly getting in the man’s face at Miller Park. “You’re a big shot,” Christie says before walking down the stairs.
