Those are some crap pushups from both of them. I’ll forgive Chuck Grassley his terrible form and limited concentric motion since he’s 87, but Tom Cotton has no excuse.

Performative yet half-assed machismo. Very on-brand for the GOP.

He would lose a barfight to a mammal smaller than 175lbs.

Not shown: the playful swordfight that occurred after the dick-measuring contest which was the tie breaker for the push-up contest.

Well, I don’t expect politicians, particularly GOP politicians, to be any good at pushups, since they spend most of their time doing squat thrusts.

Show them this (someone Conservatives like to suggest is somewhat less than “manly”):

That guy is definitely no “Chad”. Ran into him a decade ago, only met him for a few minutes and I easily picked up on his sketchy vibes. Felt like I was going to throw up in my mouth after he left. Didn’t want to make a huge deal about because I was a huge fan of his girlfriend (at the time. those two eventually were married for a bit but he was an asshole that couldn’t stop running around on her with many, many women).

Hmmmm. I thought that a “chad” was a guy who was creepy and overconfident, having that 1980s frat-boy-villain thing going. But googling around I see I was wrong.

With this guy it’s worse than that. The ex I mentioned a minute ago or so, he waited to hook up with her (behind the back of his then current wife) a short while after she turned 18. He knew her since she was around 15 and he’s 7 years older than her. He’s a groomer

Probably 22 more than Trump could do.
Jack Palance did it better, though.
