    Christie made the comments during a Sunday appearance on CNN’s State of the Union.

    “Given the way he’s talking, and not worried about the security and safety of the people of New York, maybe he should be mayor of Damascus,” Christie said during a discussion about Syrian refugees.

    The feud between the two neighboring pols heated up this week after de Blasio held up the iconic photo of a Syrian father holding his drowned infant son in response to Christie’s stance that 5 year-old Syrian orphans should be denied entry to the U.S.

    When asked for comment on Christie’s most recent jab, de Blasio press secretary Karen Hinton said, “Yawn.”

    In response Christie should’ve held up pictures of terror victims in France, as well as after 9/11. These liberal idiots don’t seem to understand that Americans’ security takes precedence over political correctness!
