PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — Over the past month, New Jersey governor Chris Christie has attacked Philadelphia sports on two separate occasions.

Most recently, on Wednesday night, Christie said Phillies fans are 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.”

Philadelphia mayor Jim Kenney responded to Christie’s comments on Friday’s 94WIP Morning Show.

“You’re gonna think this is strange for me to say this, but I kind of feel sorry for the guy,” Kenney told Angelo Cataldi and the 94WIP Morning Show.
