The Green Bay Packers just defeated the Dallas Cowboys 26-21 in a thrilling NFC playoff game at Lambeau Field in Wisc., but it’s this tweet from Rep. Paul Ryan directed at Cowboys fan Gov. Chris Christie that’s the proverbial play of the day:
.@GovChristie, do you need a hug now? #GoPackGo #WinninginWisco pic.twitter.com/32zPv6krRy

And ICYMI, this is the “hug” that Rep. Ryan is mocking:

“Real fans” being a dig at Chris Christie, who was once again viewing the game from a luxury box with Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, although from some reason there are no pictures of the two watching the game. Here’s a pregame shot, however:

Oh, well. There’s always next year Gov. Christie!
Update. We’ve found of pic of Gov. Christie in Jones’ luxury sweet:
You've seen him happy, America. Meet angry @GovChristie.
