Chuck Schumer deletes Father’s Day photo tweet in front of grill after critics slam his spatula skills

US Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer was all set to grill on Father’s Day – but found himself in hot water when social media food critics questioned his grilling skills.

The Brooklyn-born senator shared a photo of himself in front of a grill with burger patties and hot dogs, beaming from ear to ear.

“Our family has always lived in an apartment building, but my daughter and her wife just bought a house with a backyard, and for the first time, we’re having a barbecue with hot dogs and hamburgers on the grill!” Schumer tweeted. “Father’s Day Heaven!”

However, commenters were quick to criticize the New York legislator, questioning the placement of a piece of cheese on a patty.

“Chuck, I love you man, but you put the cheese on AFTER the burger is cooked,” one user remarked.

“Might want to cook that burger longer, Chuck,” another said.

Former National Republican Senatorial Committee member Matt Whitlock tweeted, “Seeing that piece of cheese on a raw patty,” along with a gif of a concerned Steve Carell backing away.

Yet, some defended the 73-year-old father of two, stating, “Calm down people, it is not raw/cold, it is a veggie burger patty underneath a slice of tofu.”

“Chuck Schumer is actually doing better than me,” another user tweeted. “Today, my grill had a grease fire and destroyed my Father’s Day ribeye. Yay!”

Schumer deleted the tweet and photo after facing criticism, but his original Father’s Day message from that morning remained.

“Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there!” he had tweeted.
