Gov. Chris Christie gets in face of Cubs fan at Miller Park

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie got up close and personal with a Cubs fan at Miller Park Sunday afternoon.

In a video posted on Twitter by WISN reporter Ben Hutchison, Christie is shown leaning over and getting eye-to-eye with a fan sitting in the stands during the Brewers-Cubs game. Hutchison said the governor was getting "razzed" by fans.

Christie can be heard sarcastically calling Brad Joseph, the fan, a "big shot" as he walks away. Joseph replied, "I appreciate that."

Joseph told WISN-TV he yelled at Christie from about 30 feet away, telling him he sucked and was a hypocrite.

"It needed to be said," Joseph told the television station.

According to Joseph, Christie then turned around and got in his face, calling him a tough guy and saying he should have another beer.

Hutchison began recording at the end of the confrontation. Joseph estimated it lasted about one minute.

Christie's son works for the Brewers, according to the Washington Examiner.
