In New Hampshire yesterday, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie repeated to voters that he did not hug President Obama after Hurricane Sandy.
"Yeah, no, I've got to tell you, I can't disappoint you all enough, I didn't hug him," Christie said during a New Hampshire town hall according to Time's Zeke Miller. And as you all have learned in New Hampshire, I hug everybody. So it was a disappointment probably for him that I didn't hug him."
The New Jersey governor has worked for years to dispel the notion that he hugged Obama when the president came to New Jersey - even though conservatives were infuriated that he rhetorically embraced the president when he visited the damage in his state caused by Hurricane Sandy.
In 2013, Christie also denied hugging the president - he shook Obama's hand after he landed at the airport and Obama put his hand on the governor's shoulder.
"It was a handshake like you would shake hands with anyone," he said. "It was a perfectly natural, casual, normal type of greeting between two people. And you know, it's become legend."
Christie argued then that people who believed the "hug" legend "conflated my kind remarks about the president with the picture" making it "more of a metaphor than an actuality."

A living Weeble!
Don’t believe your lying eyes.
Obviously Photoshopped. Including his fat self.
He didn’t deny it back in 2014
That was 130 pounds ago. Fahgeddabouit.
That’s a harder picture to live down than Glenn Beck’s crying .gif.
Chrstie: “Who are you going to believe? Me, or your own lying eyes?”
Well, I was about to ask if, “wasn’t there a picture of him doing it”... But this is right next to it ;^)
I think there is a pic of him hugging somewhere out there..
New Jersey values??? ;-)
I’m sure he hugged him, but I don’t remember seeing it. What I do remember is the two of them strolling in a lovers embrace down the beach as Christie stared up at barry like a lovestruck teenage girl.
ROTFLMAO!
I was thinking the same thing.
Did you get down on your knees and pucker your lips?
Because figuratively it sure seems like it Mr. Christie.
Vote for me because I am not as bad as a Communist or felon.
How reassuring. Romney and McCain do-over.
OK... maybe technically not a hug, but if they were any closer Reggie would get jealous.
What’s the difference between Christie and the lying POS? The lying POS isn’t fat!
