Senator Chuck Schumer, 73, has gone viral on social media for his grilling technique, particularly for placing cheese on raw burger patties. The incident has sparked widespread mockery and criticism, with many pointing out that the cheese should be added after the burgers are cooked. Schumer's use of a gas grill has also drawn attention, given the Democratic Party's stance on banning gas stoves. The photo, which Schumer posted himself, has led to questions about his ability to relate to everyday activities and his constituents in New York.
