Philadelphia Phillies Roast Chris Christie on Twitter After He Trashes Team and Fans

New Jersey governor Chris Christie appeared on SNY TV in New York on Wendesday night to talk about the New York Mets. Christie was asked specifically about the Mets’ division rival Philadelphia Phillies and the governor didn’t hold back.

“The Phillies suck. Let’s just start with that,” Christie said. “They’re from Philadelphia. They’re an awful team. They’re an angry, bitter fan base and it’s not safe for civilized people to go to Citizens Bank Park if you want to root for the other team. Ya gotta believe what? Ya gotta believe we’re awful people.”

As you can imagine, the Phillies didn’t take kindly to Christie’s words and fired back on Twitter.
