Republican presidential candidate Chris Christie has been a strong critic of Hillary Clinton, but a photo posted to Twitter Monday appears to show him about to give the Democratic candidate a hearty hug in New Hampshire.
The Daily Caller reports a Marco Rubio supporter posted the photo of the two meeting on the set of CNN's "State of the Union," where they each made an appearance on the Feb. 7 edition of the Sunday talk show.
The Daily Caller's Kerry Picket notes the photo contradicts the Christie campaign's representation of the meeting between the two in a tweet as "a tension-filled foreshadowing of what to expect" from a Christie-Clinton duel for the White House.
Last Wednesday, Christie declared that he was the man to take Clinton down in a general election, saying he would "beat her rear end,"
CNN reports.
"You know the last person she wants to see on that stage in September? You're looking at him," Christie told an audience in Lebanon, New Hampshire.
