In a now-deleted post by X, Schumer wrote: share A photo of himself cooking burgers and hot dogs for his “daughter and her wife” in their newly purchased home on Father’s Day.
“We’ve always lived in apartments, but my daughter and her wife just bought a house with a backyard and for the first time they’re having barbecue, grilling hot dogs and hamburgers,” Schumer said. I have written His post read, “Father’s Day Heaven.”
Chuck Schumer deleted this post after he was heavily criticized for not knowing how to make a cheeseburger.
