The Republican Senator was swiftly roasted after posting the video on Twitter.

Utah Republican Senator Mitt Romney was swiftly roasted after he took to Twitter to celebrate National Hot Dog Day with a lighthearted yet bizarre video tribute in which he referred to hot dogs as "the best meat."

Romney expressed his love for hot dogs while walking with a ketchup-laden hot dog in hand and donning a hot dog-themed hat.


As he celebrated the day dedicated to this classic American treat, Romney extended his wishes to all those joining in the festivities.

You can see Romney's strange tribute in the video below.

Romney said:

“Perhaps you also know that hot dog is my favorite meat, 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."
"So to all of you, like me, who are celebrating National Hot Dog Day, congratulations to you, and may there be many, many more hot dogs served in our wonderful land.”

Despite his lighthearted proclamation, some Twitter users couldn't resist poking fun at the Senator's choice, sparking amusing banter on the social media platform.








Romney has previously made his affection for hot dogs known to the public.

In the past, he playfully engaged in the ongoing "sandwich or not" debate, firmly stating his preference for hot dogs over hamburgers during a laid-back dinner with his supporters.

At the time, he said his "favorite meat is hot dog" and his "second favorite meat is hamburger," suggesting that steaks—while delicious and great—can't compare to the two meats many consider potent symbols of Americana.

The National Hot Dog and Sausage Council—yes, this is very much a thing—has a section of its website dedicated to "Hot Dog and Sausage Facts, Culture, and History" and recently named Los Angeles the "No. 1 Hot Dog and Sausage Consuming City" in a press release.

Jasmine Crockett Calls Out Trump's Hypocrisy By Pointing Out How Melania Got Her Visa

Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett pointed out President Donald Trump's hypocrisy on immigration considering how First Lady Melania Trump's pathway to citizenship was possible because she received an "Einstein visa," which is usually reserved for an individual with "some sort of significant achievement."

Speaking during a House Judiciary Committee hearing titled “Restoring Integrity and Security to the Visa Process,” Crockett noted that “the idea that Trump and my Republican colleagues want to restore integrity and security in the visa process is actually a joke," and harshly criticized the Trump administration's immigration crackdown and visa restrictions.

Fox News' chief political analyst Brit Hume came to the defense of Fox national security reporter Jennifer Griffin after their former colleague, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, criticized Griffin as the reporter "who misrepresents the most intentionally what the president says” in a Pentagon news conference.

Hegseth, a former Fox News anchor, had criticized media outlets—including his former network—for what he described as unpatriotic reporting. Hegseth took particular aim at early intelligence assessments suggesting that President Donald Trump's bombing of Iran may not have significantly crippled Iran’s nuclear capabilities.

Trump made headlines this week after admonishing Israel and Iran for violating a ceasefire agreement he'd announced on Truth Social. Although he claimed the ceasefire had been "agreed upon," Iran fired at least six missile barrages at Israel after it was supposed to take effect.
