This year, Father’s Day was more celebrated than ever before. The world decided to honor the upstanding men who made the world a better and more populous place.
There were many posts on social media celebrating the day, and Chuck Schumer chose that time to upload what he probably thought was a relatable post on X. However, it backfired.
The post included a picture of the New York Democrat grinning as he balanced a burger on a spatula. It also included a caption that drew attention to his family’s modesty and inclusivity.
In it, Schumer revealed that his family lives in an apartment building with no backyard. He then mentioned how he is now able to enjoy a barbecue with his family, thanks to his daughter and her wife. The pair just purchased a house equipped with a backyard.

The 73-year-old senator called it “Father’s Day Heaven!.” It was a wholesome post showing a father enjoying time with his family. But his critics had not taken a day off just because he had.
As soon as the post went up, conservative media critics nitpicked the photo for something to mock. They settled on his seemingly uncooked hamburger topped with a slice of cheese.
The 46-year-old son of former President Trump also weighed in. He pointed out that Schumer was “playing to the masses” before adding that nobody puts cheese on a “raw beef patty.”

He offered to teach the aged senator basic grilling but gave him brownie points for trying to be relatable. Many others shared his sentiments, with one user claiming Schumer had no clue what he was doing.
The barbs seemed to have hit home, and one day later, the post vanished from X as if it had never been there. Schumer’s grilling episode is one of the most recent in a long line of flame-related mess-ups by politicians.
In 2022, New York Governor Kathy Hochul was exposed to similar mockery for taking a grilling picture dressed in a spotless white dress.
It was Terry McAuliffe, the then-Democratic Virginia gubernatorial candidate’s turn in 2021 when he posed for a Fourth of July video that saw him cooking hot dogs and hamburgers on a grill that wasn’t powered on.

The Virginia Republican Party did not let him get away with it. They reacted by tagging it “McAuliffe’s week that never got cooking,” and the Internet had a field day over it.
