Bruce Springsteen appeared<\/a> to snub Chris Christie during an awkward concert moment caught on video.<\/p>\n

In a viral clip shared on social media, Springsteen can be seen walking through the crowd at his Brooklyn concert on Thursday before heading right past the former New Jersey governor. Christie held out his hand to Springsteen like other fans, but the 76-year-old musician didn\u2019t seem to acknowledge the Republican politician.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s unclear if Springsteen purposefully ignored Christie\u2019s gesture. Fox News Digital has reached out to the singer\u2019s representative for comment.<\/p>\n

Christie didn\u2019t seem fazed by the moment, and he returned to clapping as the show went on.<\/p>\n

\u201cHAHAHA Bruce Springsteen WAS NOT HAVING IT with Chris Christie. THE SNUB!\u201d X user Mike Ryan shared on the social media platform.<\/p>\n

Some social media users weren\u2019t quick to agree.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt looks like Bruce thought he was just a guy showing him which direction to go,\u201d one user wrote in the comments.<\/p>\n

\u201cChristie is a huge Bruce fan,\u201d another wrote. \u201cYou can see him in a MSG live video from a few years ago.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are actually friendly to each other, Springsteen didn\u2019t even notice him there he was looking at the opposite side,\u201d another noted.<\/p>\n

Springsteen has been a vocal critic of Republican President Donald Trump, especially during his latest tour.<\/p>\n

The \u201cMy Hometown\u201d singer unleashed four pointed political speeches during the opening night of his \u201cLand of Hope and Dreams American Tour.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are living through some very dark times,\u201d he told the crowd mid-show, according to Variety. \u201cOur American values that have sustained us for 250 years are being challenged as never before. We\u2019ve got our young men and women\u2019s lives at risk in an unconstitutional and illegal war. This is happening now.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are immigrants being held in detention centers around the country and being deported without due process of law to alien countries and foreign gulags. This is happening now.\u201d<\/p>\n

Springsteen said, \u201cWhile working Americans struggle, our president and his family enrich themselves by billions of dollars trading on the people\u2019s office in corruption unmatched in American history. This is happening now.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis White House is destroying the American idea and our reputation around the world,\u201d he added. \u201cTo many, we are no longer looked upon as an often imperfect but strong defender of democracy standing for the global good. We are no longer the land of the free and the home of the brave. We are now, to many, America the reckless, unpredictable, predatory rogue nation. That is this administration\u2019s and this president\u2019s legacy. This is happening now.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bruce Springsteen appeared to snub Chris Christie during an awkward concert moment caught on video.
