New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie argued with a voter on Tuesday, the day his state elects a new governor.
New York Times correspondent Nick Corasaniti captured the argument in a video that he posted on Twitter.
The voter asked Christie why he did not merge two New Jersey towns.
"I never said I was going to merge the two towns," Christie said.
He encouraged the voter to run for office and make the change herself.
"Be the voice to do it. No, I know, that's too hard… it's easier to sit here and complain," Christie said to the voter. "That's the joy of public service. It's serving folks like you that is really such a unique joy. It really is. You're fabulous."
Christie, the outgoing governor, is the least popular governor in New Jersey history, according to a July poll in Politico.
The governor's support for President Donald Trump made him less popular in his state, Christie said in October.
