Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer faced criticism on social media for a Father’s Day post that he eventually deleted after receiving backlash for his grilling skills. In the post, Schumer shared a picture of his backyard barbeque with hot dogs and hamburgers on the grill, celebrating Father’s Day in a new home with a backyard. However, the post quickly drew negative comments from conservatives who accused him of incorrectly grilling a burger with cheese.
Conservative commentators pointed out that Schumer had placed cheese on a raw patty, calling it an “E. coli with cheese.” Some even offered grilling advice and criticized Schumer for trying to appear relatable but failing in the process. After being “ratioed” by conservative accounts, Schumer decided to delete the post.
Despite the backlash, Schumer shared another Father’s Day post wishing all dads a happy Father’s Day. Fox News Digital reached out to Schumer’s office for comment, but there was no response.
This incident highlights how even a simple social media post can generate controversy and criticism, especially in today’s politically charged environment. Schumer’s attempt to share a personal moment with his followers backfired, leading to ridicule and mockery online.
Grilling is a popular activity during the summer months, and many people take pride in their grilling skills. It’s essential to follow proper food safety guidelines when grilling to prevent foodborne illnesses like E. coli. Placing cheese on a raw burger patty can indeed pose a health risk, as the meat may not reach the necessary temperature to kill harmful bacteria.
In conclusion, Schumer’s Father’s Day post serves as a reminder to be cautious when sharing personal moments on social media, as they can quickly spiral into controversy. It also underscores the importance of following proper food safety practices, especially when grilling meat. As for Schumer, he may want to brush up on his grilling skills before his next barbeque to avoid any future backlash.
