Chuck Schumer Deletes Post After Getting Ruthlessly Mocked For Psychotic Burger Grilling Technique

Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) got a real grilling for Father’s Day weekend for posting and then deleting a photo of himself committing a serious culinary sin. (Was that a dad joke? It definitely was.)

Schumer was simply trying to post a positive, festive post to set aside politics for a day to celebrate dads. The be-tee-shirted politician, outdoors, spatula in hand with a raw burger patty atop, ready to be cooked on a grill similar to many an American backyard. But the blatant photo op earned Schumer a slew of mockery on social media for one element that could simply not be ignored.

There’s a raw burger sitting on that grill with cheese on it, and that is absolutely wrong. To say nothing of the grill not actually being an active grill, at least going by the lack of smoke coming from it.

‘Twas a day that will live in infamy.

It doesn’t really rise to a call for expulsion of the Senate Majority Leader, but does it merit some mean tweets? That is not for Mediaite to decide. But social media — as social media is wont to do — made plenty of judgments, and not long after Schumer posted his photo, he took it down.
