#Bridgegate dominated Twitter timelines today.
The hashtag signifies the traffic mess that N.J. Governor Chris Christie found himself in. His former deputy chief of state Bridget Kelly allegedly sent a politically motivated correspondence that may have caused a major traffic jam on the George Washington Bridge. Today, Christie held a news conference to announce he had fired Kelly.
In addition, he apologized. While addressing the public, he said, "I am not a bully."
Social media erupted over #Bridgegate. Here's a sampling of tweets and Instagram posts.
