(CNN) -- In the latest round of Rand Paul vs. Chris Christie, the Kentucky senator tweaked his potential 2016 rival Sunday for his recent outburst in which the New Jersey governor told a heckler to "sit down and shut up."

After watching a clip of the confrontation on CBS' "Face the Nation," Paul smirked and suggested "this sort of bully demeanor" might work well in some places -- but not in all.

"I can't imagine that -- I grew up in the South. And we're 'yes, ma'am' and 'no, sir' and a little bit more polite," the Kentucky Republican said.

"I think people want someone to be bold. And there was a time when I thought, you know what? When he stands up and he says things boldly, that's kind of good. He's not taking any flak," he continued. "But there can be too much of that, too."

The first-term senator and Christie have butted heads through the media for more than a year over their ideological differences.
