Last week, Governor Chris Christie, amid some historically bad approval ratings, was put on the defensive by an irate caller on a sports radio show. Yesterday, he ventured out to Citi Field to watch a Mets game where he managed to catch a foul ball to a deafening chorus of boos by fans.
The governor’s public perception has gone from bad to worse following his Fourth of July outing to a public beach he closed over budget concerns, and his vilification didn’t just manifest in the crowd’s reaction but the announcer’s as well.
The governor was nice enough to give the ball to a kid, but not before ruining it with his signature first.
While the man’s politics and personality may leave something to be desired, his appearance was nothing short of a comedic blessing for Twitter.
