Christie Argues With Voter Outside Mendham Polling Place [WATCH]

MENDHAM TOWNSHIP, NJ — After Governor Chris Christie cast his final vote as governor, he stopped to answer questions from reporters, and found himself arguing with a constituent over the future of their shared hometown.

"Why didn't you merge the borough and the township?" Mendham Township resident Victoria Giambra asked Christie, who also lives in the township. Christie has voiced support for the idea in the past, and was telling reporters he still supported the idea when Giambra chimed in, NJ.com said.

"I can't," Christie replied, an answer Giambra challenged.

Christie had a solution for Giambra: run for public office and initiate the merger herself.

"The easiest thing in the world is to stand where you stand and stand on the sideline and critique," Christie said.

"Oh, no I know, 'cause its too hard, its easier to sit here and complain. That's the joy of public service. It's serving folks like you that is really such a unique joy; you're fabulous," Christie said, sarcastically.
