Leave it to New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) to get the last word in concerning his confrontation with a heckler at a baseball game over the weekend.

In a moment that was captured on video that went viral, Christie, toting a bowl of nachos, wheeled to face a Chicago Cubs fan who had said “you suck,” among other things, as Christie walked past him at Milwaukee’s Miller Park. Christie got into the man’s face and fired back, “you’re a real big shot.”

On Wednesday, the governor said that he let the fan, Brad Joseph, off lightly.

“For those of you who know me, I was very restrained,” Christie told reporters (via NJ.com) during a news conference in Trenton. “I didn’t dump the nachos on him or anything, which I think was an option.”

1. Christie was the bigger man

He almost always is

[yallerdawg]

2. I don't think Christie is the kind of guy...

who goes and gets nachos, and then dumps them on a heckler.

If you catch my drift...

[yellowcanine]

3. As if you were willing to part with a bowl of nachos, Christie.

Not going to happen. Just sayin.'

4. Christie acts tough

When he has a security team nearby! I wonder how tough he'll be,when he no longer has that team to keep him safe?

[Not Ruth]

5. He was a US Attorney before he was whatever you call him now

He has always been special

[hamsterjill]

9. This!

Let's see the jerk when he's all alone facing someone his own size with their own bowl of nachos.

Christie is a bully and I hope I live to see the day that someone takes his ass down!

[Docreed2003]

6. Of course he didn't!!! His ass wasn't going to waste those nachos!!!

If that had been me, Christie wouldn't have had to worry about dumping the nachos, because I would have pushed them back on him the moment he got in my face! Fuck that guy and his fake ass "tough guy" bs!

7. An ex once told me someday I'd realize my error in leaving him.

He said he didn't beat me, didn't cheat on me, someday I'd realize what a catch he was, that I'd let go.

Taking credit for not being violent seems really off.

11. I had an ex tell me I'd have bad karma for all eternity if I left her

She cheated on me a good bit, but claimed that she also passed up lots of opportunities to do so. It felt really off.

8. I did'nt notice, did the Cubs fan have a cadre of bodyguards too,

or just big, brave Governor Christie? As I recall, he's real tough with school teacher too when he has a mic and they don't.

Anyone else like to see someone smack the crap out of him? He's a crumb.

10. Like he would waste nachos like that.

[ProgressiveValue]

12. And the man would have made some money.

Press charges for assault & battery and sue for damages.

[Coventina]

13. Give that man the Nobel Peace Prize!!!

STAT!!

[Downtown Hound]

14. Oh please dump your nachos on me silly fat man

What happens after that will live on in internet fame for eternity, and it will not look good for you.

15. Chris here : } !

Sometimes I amaze myself, as I stared down my heckler adversary I almost saw the headline in the news. I would have reached out to grab it but, I quickly realized I was holding my nachos with hand the I use to grab headlines. Just like the prize in the cracker jack box my nachos delivered! And I'm still milking it !

16. Christie's lucky

the guy wasn't a cop who "feared for his life".

I think if I was that guy I would have grabbed a big handful of nachos, thanked him, and then asked him what he had to wash it down with.

[kimbutgar]

17. If he's still talking about it, the encounter got under his thin skin

Ha ha I'd insult him to his face if I had a chance.

[Grammy23]

18. Kinda reminds one of another bully,

The one with the thinnest of skin. He, too, never met an insult that he didn't squirrel away and take out of his pocket from time to time.
