Cubs fan says Christie's security detail “threatened" him, friends

The Cubs fan who exchanged words with New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie at a game in Milwaukee said Monday that Christie's security detail “threatened” him and his friends.

Brad Joseph said other fans were already heckling the governor when he yelled “you suck” at Christie, who was on his way to a concession stand. As Christie returned to his seat, Joseph said he told Christie he was a “hypocrite.”

Christie turned around, came toward him and got in his face, Joseph wrote in a Facebook post. He told Joseph to “have another beer,” which Joseph said he found funny and “a decent comeback,” though he wasn't drinking.

“But Christie quickly made it clear that he wasn't joking around,” Joseph wrote. “He came a few inches from my face and began to call me a ‘big shot,' and a ‘tough guy,' and asking ‘what are you gonna do now?'”
