Some Republicans were furious with Christie, insisting he had hugged the president and helped him win the presidency. Christie pointed out that, “There was no hug. Stop.” As for being gracious to the president, Christie’s response to the criticism was succinct: “I will not apologize for doing my job.”
Christie’s political star was in ascendance again in 2013 when he won a decisive re-election victory. He beat his overmatched opponent by 22 percentage points. More important, he won a majority of the votes of two constituencies that Republicans have struggled with nationally, women and Hispanics.[http://www.newsweek.com/chris-christie-all-you-need-know-354901 (Newsweek)]
'''Bridgegate'''
Federal authorities charged two Christie staffers and another New Jersey official with using state resources for political ends. One of the Christie staffers pled guilty; the other two officials are scheduled to go on trial this fall. Christie denies playing a role in the lane closures; an internal probe he commissioned by an outside law firm cleared him of any wrongdoing. He insists that the media owe him an apology for falsely suggesting that he instigated Bridgegate.
