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.

Probably a staged event, yes.
Still, Which other Dem candidate could pull it off? Warren, Buttiboy? Kobucher? could you see any of them doing even a single push-up?
Come on. He obviously did it as a joke.
“But I would take most people to a push-up challenge.”
Her car must be enormous. I could only take 4 or 5 people to anything, and even 4 + me would not be very comfortable. In related news for CNN, it turns that that using spell-check and proofreading are not the same thing!
Ha, ha, yes. It reminds me of the tank fiasco with Dukakis. Democrats like to prove they’re toughness, even though everything they say is a lie.
Here, hold muh beer.
He was a stud.
Every single one of those was a no-rep. Sorry.
I like challenging women to jumping jacks.
“I see an ulterior motive in everything the left does. They dont have lighthearted moments. Everything has to reinforce their twisted ideals.”
There are about 64 million of us who agree with you.
Stunt with a person planted in the audience by her campaign staff.
Fake, or as we say here in Hawaii “ Shibai”
She’s my Congressional Rep, I’m her constituent
Not appreciated for her ‘work’ her at home.
A well known show-boat
I feel sorry for ya... human beings are still human beings. Just because the Clintons staged everything and Obama couldnt function without a TelePrompter does not mean everyone who disagrees with you stages everything..
Honestly this woman will never be president and honestly her campaign is more of the last curiosity of the primary season...
I would only offer some advice, Never attribute to nephariousness which can easily be attributed to stupidity.
This is the fatal flaw of those with left wing ideologies. They view anything they dont like as being evil and nepharious..
Dont be like that
Bernies running mate?
If it wasn’t a set up, I like her spunk, but it doesn’t seem presidential. I would have liked her more if she had just said something like, “Without a doubt I could beat you. But I’m not going to embarrass you.” Do you want your president dared into doing stupid stuff? Just watched the video. It’s only 21 seconds long so they didn’t do many push ups. And Gabbard appears to stop first, then the guy rolls over.
If they can do more than me, I have to buy them dinner and a movie. Dang if I don't always lose.
There are a bunch of FR posters who become absolutely unhinged at the slightest not-vitriolic comment about this chick.
It's BIZARRE.
I agree - staged or not it was fun.
‘zactly !
How many push-ups did she do?
It was cute, but he stopped when she was getting wobbly. Was it an example of toxic masculinity to let her win?
Qualifications to be president? I think not (he let her win).
