Chuck Schumer Faces Backlash Over Father's Day Grill Photo

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) faced widespread ridicule on social media after posting and subsequently deleting a photo of himself grilling on Father’s Day. The image showed Schumer smiling at a grill with a raw burger patty topped with cheese, which sparked criticism for his grilling technique. Comments ranged from mocking his culinary skills to political jabs, with figures like Donald Trump Jr. and other social media users lambasting the senator. Some defended Schumer, suggesting the patty might be a veggie burger or sharing their own grilling mishaps. Despite the backlash, Schumer deleted the photo but kept his Father’s Day message up.
