A man challenged Tulsi Gabbard to a push-up contest. He lost.

Democratic presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard was taking questions from town hall attendees in New Hampshire on Thursday when a man in the crowd asked the Hawaii congresswoman and Iraq War veteran about former Vice President Joe Biden.

"Former Vice President Biden has randomly challenged people in the audience to a push-up contest even if they're in walkers. Do you think you could take him?" a male attendee asked the candidate, according to video of the moment posted on Twitter. Gabbard replied, "My educated and informed guess would be yes ... But I would take most people to a push-up challenge." Challenge accepted. The congresswoman -- in her blazer and heels, no less -- and the attendee began to furiously do push-ups as onlookers cheered in video shot by CNN affiliate station WMUR. As they slowed their reps, the attendee then cartoonishly collapsed and rolled over. The congresswoman then jumped to her feet and pretended to count out her challenger like a boxing referee.

Don’t challenge an army vet to pushups. ‘Nuff said.

Yawn. And what does this prove? Nothing, of course. The left never gets tired of promoting the false idea that there are no physical differences between men and women.

Good for her. Don’t like her politics, but once in a while she surfaces to breath clean air.

Even if this was staged, it was well done. I think Trump could beat Tulsi in debate, but she has a sense of both fun and justice that is sadly lacking in the other Dem candidates, and can only be matched by Trump’s speaking and tweeting style.

But I would take most people to a push-up challenge.

Not after some dude knocked her girl ass out.

Gee, this doesn’t sound at all like a setup. Hint: clicking through and reading the piece will not reveal to you how many push-ups they did.

It’s not meant to prove anything. It’s just a lighthearted interaction..

Seriously folks just because someone disagrees with you politically doesn’t mean everything they do is evil folks.

Article is just a report on some lightheartedness on the campaign trai
Let’s face it.. if you are assigned to report on this candidates this is probably the best story you are going to get.

Relax folks. Relax

Maybe us ex boxers.

Me and my friend use to do sets of 100 every time at the boxing gym.

That was 25 years ago.

I got in shape enough to do 10 a few months ago :)

Nope, I see an ulterior motive in everything the left does. They don’t have lighthearted moments. Everything has to reinforce their twisted ideals.

It proves she is all for letting a man allow her win.

He looks like a plant.

Tulsi's looking to get some credibility after the lame sparring session with Zhang.

She knocked his ass out and had fun doing it... I give him credit.

Not many men would want to see themselves lose to a woman.
