Chris Christie now has his constituents in the world of politics calling him out for being a Cowboys fan.The Mayor of Bergenfield, New Jersey Called out Chris Christie, and he reached out to TMZ of course, to voice his displeasure.
Mayor Schmelz says the Governor is “wrong” for jumping on the Dallas Cowboys bandwagon.
We also spoke with ex-NFL star Jon Runyan — a former U.S. Congressman from NJ — who says Christie’s allegiance to Dallas is “unfortunate” … especially with so many people from Jersey being fans of the Eagles, Giants and Jets.
“Truly, I get why people are upset. But I love his passion for the game. It’s unfortunate he’s rooting for [the Eagles’] arch rival.”
Though Runyan says he does respect the fact that Christie “doesn’t let anyone tell him what he can or can’t do.”
As for Mayor Schmelz … he tells us there’s one way for Chris to get out of his doghouse — “If he can get Bergenfield enough state aid to lower our tax burden here locally, I’ll become a Cowboy’s fan as well.”
