WASHINGTON — Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg became the first woman to lie in state at the U.S. Capitol Friday. She may also be the only person to lie in state who has had a mourner do calisthenics in front of their casket. Bryant Johnson, Ginsburg's longtime trainer, dropped and gave the Justice a quick trio of push-ups when it was his turn to approach the flag-draped coffin shortly after 10:30 a.m. ABC7 spoke with Johnson last year about his relationship with Justice Ginsburg, who he trained for more than 20 years. He said in November that she was back to

That was just his way of taking a knee before her flag-draped coffin.

Typical leftist, everything is about THEM and they are totally unable to see themselves as others see them, Joe Biden being the prime example.

Does anyone know if Joe & Dr. Jill paid their respcts? He could have challenged the trainer to a push up contest. That would have been memorable!

Democrats and leftists are such exhibitionists. They have to propagate the myth that Obama was this he-man superior athlete and Ruthie was doing crunches right up until her death.

As dignified as Senator Wellstone's funeral. At least they are consistant.

Do demoncraps and all the assorted mental patients that fall under that umbrella ever get tired of showing off for each other and the camera?
What a clown. What an arse.

I'm glad the murdering witch suffered and tickled pink she's finally dead.

Classic Nazi. You can see it prepping for its big moment. Working it self up for the grand display.
Making a complete mockery of s supposed solumn ocassion. They have NO sense of dignity. He should be imstitionalized.
I hope he looses clients and then his job.
But America is supposed to honor the hags wishes and the endless tantrums of the left.
GAG GAG GAG...

Well Joseph Biden was also there sitting right up front, an act that served to politicize the short ceremony in the US Capitol Rotunda. One big person appeared to have been missing, where was the leader of the Democrat Party Barack Obama? Probably still stewing over the fact that Justice Ginsburg refused to retire during Obama's second term so that he would have had the chance to pick her replacement. Instead Justice Ginsburg hung in there hoping that fellow feminist Hillary Clinton would pick her replacement. Looks like all that Justice Ginsburg retirement stalling, in the end, did not work out at all after the man upstairs rang the final bell.

I worked out until my health completely failed due to hereditary causes of peripheral artery disease. I nearly died. I only survived because I HAD worked out. Arteriogram showed massive amount of collateral circulation in my thigh. Unfortunately it didn't extend to the calf. Almost two years later and I'm well and work out harder than before: elliptical, bicycle, treadmill 4-5 times a week and twice a week weight class. I didn't agree with RBG on much but her determination in working out stole a bit of my heart. I understand why he did it. They'd probably discussed it. Bravo. Don't shed tears but do push ups!

Was this another ceremony that the mayor of DC relaxed the distancing and gathering size rules, requiring the covid virus to stay away? Asking for a friend.

I completely disagree with probably all commenters here - I read the article, they had a 20 year long relationship regarding her workouts and she never gave up. Other stuff has happened at these things, there was nothing at all untoward about it and I suspect she would have approved. Yes, I'm a conservative, but I certainly appreciate good friendships, like the one she had with Scalia.

I think about the stupidest thing that I have seen in the year 2020 is the idiot Democrats standing on the steps of the capitol waving at Ginsberg’s hearse as it drove away. These people make rocks look smart.

Nope. It was a nice touch. I am not a fan of the canonization of Ruth, though.

I saw a video of RBG doing "pushups" yesterday. Even making allowances for her age, those were nothing like a pushup. She dipped maybe 2" and then back up.
She was fooling herself if she imagined that she was "doing pushups". She was not. Perhaps by the time I am that age, I'll be faking it too, but at this point, late 60s, I do actual pushups, all the way down, all the way up.
