Though the new governor was wearing a black apron with the words, "Beef, it’s what’s for dinner," her post was flooded with comments asking what the strange-looking meat on the grill truly was.
"Ma’am, what is that?" reacted independent journalist Breanna Morello.
Popular satire account Three Year Letterman commented, "How many neighborhood cats are missing" and "arrest her."
"Did you cut your meat with a weed wacker?" wrote Parker Thayer, a researcher at Capital Research Center.
Heritage Foundation research fellow Jason Bedrick commented, "What you did to that meat violates the Geneva Convention."
Another user, conservative commentator David Freeman, simply reacted, "No thanks."
Sen. Chuck Schumer deleted X post. (X)
The post was immediately criticized by conservatives accusing him of placing cheese on one of the burger patties prematurely and not knowing how to properly grill the burger.

"Chuck is making an E. coli with cheese," Cavalry founding partner Michael Duncan posted on X.
Spanberger's office did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.
