UPDATE: Democrats Still Suck at Pretending To Cook Meat on a Grill
Washington Free Beacon ^ | February 13, 2026 | Andrew Stiles

Posted on 02/18/2026 6:03:25 AM PST by Twotone

It happened again. Another Democratic politician posed for a photo while attempting to cook meat on a grill. This time it was Gov. Abigail Spanberger (D., Va.) who tried to look normal by grilling a substance some claim was intended to represent "beef." The governor posted a photo of herself on X along with the caption "Order up!" and a steak emoji. Many remarked upon the hideous appearance of the alleged meat, as well as the deranged grin on Spanberger's face—the manic visage of an overmedicated wine mom about to mow down a rival's goldendoodle with her luxury SUV.

It was a disastrous grill-related performance from the Democrats, but hardly the first. Democratic politicians have a long history of trying and failing to relate to normal Americans by pretending to do normal American things. For whatever reason, grilling meat has proved to be an especially precarious task. Attempting it has repeatedly exposed Democrats as the out-of-touch pampered elites that they are.

What is missing from any of those photos is any smoke or flare ups. Cooking burgers and hotdogs is messy...

If spatchcocked, it was done using only fingernails, no knives involved.

It’s okay if her “wife” is a rich doctor, goyem or not.

You may be right, but don’t you cook the whole piece of meat first, and THEN slice it? I’ve never seen anyone do slices on an open grill.

Well, depends. Yes, for the most part. However, this particular method I got from my ex-brother-in-law who was from Michoacán. Thinly-sliced cuts of beef seasoned and grilled quickly over high heat. Throw it on a warm corn tortilla and add your pico de gallo, and lime squeezing, and avocado if you like and chow down. But you have to have a good butcher. Around here we go to the Mexican grocer and get the meat. Much nicer than what that witch is cooking up.

You could have shortened the article's title for the sake of total accuracy:

I have seen that method using a “griddle”, but never grates as shown here. He meat could easily fall through the grates if done in slices. Am I wrong?

Well, if you’re looking for a photo op, you don’t even have a fire underneath the grates. It’s just staged. Not real in any way.

Hum. a puzzler! Halal goat meat? Quick Sale item from an Oriental grocer?? Something salvaged from the base of tree near an Eagles nest?

Diana! Some intern found Something on a county road! Does the Country Girl have any (humorous) identification for her road kill? :)

Definitely AI... the scale is all wrong... the Grill is enormous in comparison to her, and even Harris has enough sense not to cook in a nice plum colored dress like that!

(In her left hand... not a fork...a headless spatula handle? She looks out of place and rather unsure of herself, so AI got that right!)

It figures that Schumer would be
dishing up frozen preformed
hamburgers from Walmart.
I don’t believe those are
Kosher.

I’m going to go way out here on
a limb and guess that hunk is
trimmings from a butcher shop.
It’s probably pork and reserved
for Mexican dishes like fajitas,
Posole, or chorizo.
I have no idea where the
bone comes in....

It could, but I've never had it happen. And I've cooked a lot of it.

Give her a break - she ran on affordability think that is squirrel. If so, needs more seasoning

It’s too GRAY to be raccoon roadkill. Might be opossum? LOL!

From the comments, it might be some kind of ‘meat substitute’ but why does it have a long leg-bone in it? Yikes!

Long leg bone...well, small dog or coyote so perhaps something from an oriental meat market would explain it?

OK Moving on!

She needs to cover her hair, or at least pull it back, if she’s going to cook. Yuck.
