Christie no longer a VIP at Newark-Liberty Airport
UPDATE: Christie tweets that the story is FAKE NEWS
Former Governor Chris Christie was turned away from using the VIP entrance at Newark Airport today, according to a story first reported by WCBS News.
The former Guv and the State Trooper accompanying him complied with the Port Authority Police Officer who told him to get on the TSA line with the masses, according to the reports.
Christie disputed the story via twitter early this evening.
Absolutely false story about my travel today. NJSP security detail & I were led to one entrance in the airport by PAPD officer. TSA informed PAPD and NJSP that this was the wrong way to enter and directed us to another entrance where I was screened & admitted to the airport(1/2)

Neither option was the way I entered airport as Governor(wrong in the story) and PAPD officer never denied me entry at either place (also wrong in story). He was a gentleman assisting my security detail. When he got the right info he took me to the right place. Pure fiction.(2/2)
