The White House Spanks Sen. Chuck Schumer, Roasts Him Like a Hot Dog [WATCH]

Posted By LifeZette Staff On In News | No Comments

The White House escalated [1] its online messaging campaign against Democratic leaders on Wednesday, releasing a meme aimed at Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer as the government shutdown continued.

The shutdown began at midnight after Senate Democrats blocked a stopgap funding bill.

Democrats have demanded $1.5 trillion in federal spending to cover free healthcare for illegal aliens and gender transition procedures for minors as part of negotiations, according to White House officials.

Polling suggests the position is not widely supported.

A recent New York Times survey found that a majority of voters, including nearly half of Democrats, opposed forcing a shutdown to secure the provisions Democrats are demanding.

The Senate again failed to pass a proposal to reopen the government on Wednesday, with Democratic leaders holding firm.

Republican negotiators have accused Democrats of “holding government funding hostage” until their policy goals are met.

The latest meme posted by the White House comes as part of a broader series mocking top Democrats during the funding standoff.

Earlier this week, President Donald Trump shared memes lampooning House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries.

One image portrayed Jeffries with a cartoon mustache and sombrero, a jab at Democratic immigration policies.

Jeffries denounced the content as racist in a televised interview, and Trump posted a meme of that too.

The White House dismissed that characterization, saying the intent was to highlight Democratic policies on immigration, not personal attacks.

Vice President J.D. Vance addressed the controversy at a White House press briefing Tuesday.

Responding to questions about whether the administration would scale back its use of memes, Vance criticized Jeffries for calling Trump racist.

“The memes will stop if Democrat leaders help us reopen the government,” Vance said.

Only hours later, the White House account released another meme, this time targeting Schumer.

The image drew from a scene in the Netflix comedy series I Think You Should Leave.

In the skit, comedian Tim Robinson, dressed in a hot dog suit, crashes a hot dog-shaped vehicle into a storefront before loudly denying responsibility.

The White House caption adapted the line, mocking Schumer’s handling of the shutdown: “We’re all trying to find the guy who did this’ … and give him a spanking!

The White House has emphasized that the shutdown will remain in place until congressional Democrats agree to remove provisions for new healthcare subsidies and benefits tied to illegal immigration and gender transition procedures.

Schumer and Jeffries have remained defiant, arguing that the provisions are central to their caucus’s policy commitments.

In public remarks, they accused Trump of politicizing the negotiations rather than seeking bipartisan solutions.

The White House, however, has maintained that the responsibility for the shutdown lies squarely with Democratic leadership.

Officials said essential services will continue to operate, but furloughs and delayed payments will grow the longer the stalemate lasts.

With both sides entrenched, the shutdown entered its second day without a clear resolution.

The White House indicated that it would continue to use direct messaging and online platforms to frame the standoff, keeping pressure on Schumer, Jeffries, and Senate Democrats.
