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.

Relax M.Thatcher, Relax.
lol
Challenge them to a game of strip poker too :)
Who cares?
Her father was a republican and I think she is too. Can you even win in Hawaii as a republican? Definitely not anymore so you run as a Democrat.
Yup. She is the only one who can compose and speak in complete sentences. It is too bad that most of her political philosophy is FUBAR.
Okay I’ve watched the video several times and here is my overanalysis. They both did 7 reps, but hers were worse than his. His chest didn’t touch the floor and her chest didn’t even come close to touching the floor.
I declare them both losers.
But I agree with others. A bit of campaign fun.
100% staged.....100%
STAGED
Remember Howard Dean... and the couple of staged events where someone needed a doctor.
What do you know. Howard is right here to help.
American politics is a sh**show.
I know that I am old, but in my day, that would have been called “unlady like”.
Set up.
He would probably lose a pock mark contest too.
Set up.
Gabbard never takes up that “CHALLENGE” without knowing one way or another she wins. SETUP.
I looked like the guy rolled over and let Gabbard win. You wonder what would have happened next if Gabbard hadn’t jumped up and started a countdown on the downed man.
That’s cold...
But funny nevertheless.
