New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie on Wednesday responded to TIME magazine’s cover photo (pictured below) of him, joking that he plans to report the newsweekly to “the anti-Italian defamation league.”

Fox Business host Don Imus said it the photo — which is headlined “The Boss” — makes Christie look like Tony Soprano. 

“Yeah, it’s not kind,” Christie said. “I guess they’re trying to make some kind of point.”
