Christie claims Ramaswamy copied Obama, Vivek responds with ‘Bear Hug’ comeback.
Chris Christie Accuses Ramaswamy of Plagiarizing Obama, Vivek Claps Back with ‘Bear Hug’ Comment
In a fiery exchange during the Republican Party’s first primary debate in Milwaukee on Wednesday, Chris Christie took on Vivek Ramaswamy, accusing him of plagiarizing former President Barack Obama.
“I’ve had enough already tonight of a guy who sounds like ChatGPT standing up here,” Christie boldly declared, referring to Ramaswamy.
Christie drew a parallel between Ramaswamy and Obama, recalling a moment from a previous debate where Obama questioned the presence of a “skinny guy with an odd last name” on the stage. He warned that Ramaswamy’s amateurish approach mirrored that of Obama.

Ramaswamy didn’t back down and responded with an Obama-related retort.
“Come over and give me a hug!” the businessman challenged Christie, referencing a moment when Christie reportedly hugged Obama after Hurricane Sandy in 2012. Ramaswamy suggested that Christie’s support could help him win, just as it allegedly did for Obama.
However, Christie has denied the hug ever took place.
Ramaswamy’s words during the debate did bear resemblance to a line used by Obama at the 2004 Democratic National Convention, leading some to accuse him of plagiarism.

Notably, former President Donald Trump, who is leading in primary polling, chose to skip the debate.
