Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer may be taking flak from his critics, who are slamming him for a tough-asking Father’s Day photo.
The New York Democrat on Sunday posted a photo of X smiling with a burger on a spatula in honor of the father-centric holiday.
“Our family has always lived in apartments,” Schumer said in the post, “but my daughter and her wife just bought a house with a backyard and for the first time ever, they’re going to be grilling out hot dogs and burgers for a BBQ!”
“Father’s Day heaven!” the 73-year-old senator exclaimed.
But the barbecue congressman made an epic blunder, fanning the flames of criticism from barbecue aficionados and provoking critics in the conservative media who mocked the raw cheese-topped burger.
“I get that they’re trying to appeal to the masses,” Donald Trump Jr. I said it with X“But literally no one puts cheese on a raw beef patty.”
“If you need help learning how to cook basic grilled dishes, let me know. But it’s good to try to be empathetic,” the 46-year-old son of former President Trump said.
“I’m by no means a grill master. You don’t have to be a grill master to know that Chuck Schumer has no idea what he’s doing.”Another XThe user responded.
By Monday, the post had disappeared from X. Schumer’s office did not respond to ITK’s request for comment.
Some critics said Schumer’s half-assed episode was reminiscent of other flame-flaming gaffes by politicians.
