Bruce Springsteen Snubs Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie at Brooklyn Concert: See Video

Video showed Springsteen passing Christie without a high-five, as the former New Jersey governor watched from the crowd at the concert.

  • On Thursday, May 14, Bruce Springsteen appeared to snub former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie during a Barclays Center concert in Brooklyn, walking past the seated fan without acknowledging his outstretched hand.
  • A longtime fan who has attended more than 150 Springsteen concerts, Christie shares a complex history with the musician; their relationship soured when Springsteen mocked Christie's 'Bridgegate' scandal during a 2013 appearance on The Tonight Show.
  • During '10th Avenue Freeze-Out,' Christie reached out for a high-five as 'The Boss' passed through the crowd; however, Springsteen walked with his head down and did not acknowledge the former governor or other fans nearby.
  • Christie continued clapping after the moment, appearing unfazed by the interaction. Earlier this year, the former governor stated his relationship with Springsteen was 'really good,' adding that the two now 'text' and 'talk.'
  • The dynamic reflects diverging political paths: Springsteen, a longtime Democratic Party supporter, has called President Donald Trump 'corrupt, incompetent, racist, reckless,' while Christie, a Republican, emerged as one of Trump's most vocal critics in recent years.
