Romney faces online backlash over video celebrating National Hot Dog Day.
Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) Celebrates National Hot Dog Day in Style
In a hilarious video that quickly went viral, Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) showed off his playful side while commemorating National Hot Dog Day. Donning a hot dog hat and proudly holding a delicious hot dog with a ketchup drizzle, Romney took a lighthearted approach to the holiday.
“Well, as you all know, today is National Hot Dog Day, and perhaps you also know that hot dog is my favorite meat,” Romney exclaimed in the video. “I love hot dogs. I love ’em in buns, I love ’em outside of buns, I love ’em with baked beans, I just like hot dogs. It’s the best meat there is, without question.”
The video not only showcased Romney’s sense of humor but also referenced a previous news story from 2018 where he revealed his love for hot dogs and hamburgers. It seems that the senator has a true passion for these classic American foods.
While some may have expected a more serious message from a senator, Romney embraced the opportunity to bring some levity to the political landscape. “So to all of you who, like me, are celebrating National Hot Dog Day, congratulations to you, and may there be many, many more hot dogs served in our wonderful land,” he cheerfully proclaimed.
“He’s straight up trolling and I have to give him credit for that,” reporter Eli McMann tweeted.
“Is this AI?” Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) responded.
“We are cursed with the lamest, goofiest political elites in human history,” another Twitter user wrote.
“Mitt Romney’s go-to is silence. On sending troops to Ukraine? Silence. On continued weaponization of the justice department? Silence. We’re thrilled to at least know where he stands on hot dogs, though,” Riverton, Utah Mayor Trent Staggs wrote. Staggs is running for Romney’s seat.
The video quickly gained traction, amassing over 4.7 million views, a staggering 100 times more than Romney’s previous video on the platform. It seems that his playful approach struck a chord with viewers, who appreciated the senator’s ability to have some fun.
Despite the lightheartedness, it’s important to remember that Romney is still a dedicated public servant. He recently filed a declaration of candidacy with the Federal Election Commission and is up for reelection in 2024. So while he may enjoy hot dogs, his commitment to his constituents remains unwavering.
