Chuck Schumer Grilled Online Over Cheeseburger Blunder, Deletes Father's Day Post

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer faced criticism on social media after posting a photo of himself grilling burgers and hot dogs on Father's Day. Observers noted that he had placed cheese on a raw burger patty, leading to a flurry of comments questioning his grilling skills and the appearance of the food. The backlash prompted Schumer to delete the tweet, though his initial Father’s Day message remained.

The criticism came from various quarters, including political opponents and social media users, who commented on Schumer's apparent lack of basic grilling knowledge. Some also raised concerns about the religious implications, as Schumer, who has Jewish heritage, was seen mixing meat and dairy. This incident adds to a history of politicians being scrutinized for their grilling attempts during public holidays.
