In which Paul Ryan trolls Chris Christie with an offer for a hug

Rep. Paul Ryan's Green Bay Packers just beat Gov. Chris Christie's beloved Dallas Cowboys. This led to Ryan giving Christie a little poke on Twitter:

The troll goes deep here. Ryan isn't just rubbing Christie's nose in the fact that Green Bay won and Dallas lost. He's poking Christie because the New Jersey Governor spent about a week being mocked for an awkward, and perhaps unethical, hug he gave Cowboys owner Jerry Jones after Dallas won its January 4th playoff game:

I think the word the kids use is "lol"?
