From Fox News:

[edit] “Terrorist fist jab”
On June 6, 2008, Hill brought up the question of whether a fist bump between Barack Obama and his wife after the final 2008 Presidential Democratic primaries was a “terrorist fist jab.” Hill, introducing an upcoming discussion before a commercial break, posited that some believed the gesture was either “A fist bump? A pound? [or] A terrorist fist jab?,” but never explained the term when the segment continued after the break.[1] The incident set off a mini-controversy among bloggers and TV commentators.[2][3][4][5] Hill apologized for her comments on June 10, claiming that she was describing the impressions of various other people, and not her own. [6]

Later that same day, Fox News announced that Hill’s show America’s Pulse had been cancelled. Martha McCallum’s show The Live Desk would become two hours, and Trace Gallagher would become a co-host with Martha.[7]
