“On the Record With Greta Van Susteren” Thursday night featured a lengthy in-person interview of Republican presidential candidate Gov. Chris Christie, which Van Susteren spiced up with a shocking admission.
– @greta on @ChrisChristie Obama hug: “You know I looked at it last night and I said, that’s no hug"

What? People have been saying since even before Christie announced his run that his hug with President Obama following a tour of Superstorm Sandy damage had forever cost him their votes.
More @greta on Christie: "I gotta say I’m sorry about the hug."

I just told @GovChristie that the media was WRONG about the @BarackObama / @GovChristie hug – that was not a hug -OTR #greta @FoxNews

We swear we remember them at the very least walking along the boardwalk and holding hands. Let’s go to the videotape.

Christie told the Philadelphia Inquirer in 2013, “It was a handshake like you would shake hands with anyone. It was a perfectly natural, casual, normal type of greeting between two people. And you know, it’s become legend.”
It certainly has, as demonstrated by the sparks that few during the first Republican primary debate.
.@RandPaul to Christie: "I know you gave him a big hug, and if you want to give him a big hug again, go right ahead.https://t.co/nuhFwL2ZvB

This isn’t a handshake, and it isn’t quite a hug. It’s definitely not a Christie campaign poster.
Apparently Chris Christie doesn't remember his infamous hug with Obama…. #GOPdebate pic.twitter.com/PSUGynFAuz
