We’re not sure how we missed this one the other day, but here’s Sen. Mitt Romney, dressed in what looks like Romney-branded camouflage, eating his favorite meat to celebrate National Hot Dog Day.

“I have a good one here, sliced in half with some pickles, onions, and ketchup, which is the way I prefer it”:

We have no idea why he and the folks in the background are wearing camo, though:

Anyone know why he is wearing camouflage? https://t.co/Z2eRJBWGpB — Matt Stoller (@matthewstoller) July 19, 2019

Conspiracy theory: DID HE EVEN EAT THE HOT DOG?

Some in the media fact-checked him if hot dog is a meat or not:

I miss the old days when silliness like this was the thing of the week. (The meat is called pork, senator. It's in the shape of *a* hot dog. Next I'll explain Dutch Apple Pie.) https://t.co/4BmhdrTSTU — Bob Cesca (@bobcesca_go) July 18, 2019

Sigh:

Please tell me you know that “hot dog” is not a meat. It’s not like there are wild hot dogs out there https://t.co/nV0htklQo3 — Imani Gandy (@AngryBlackLady) July 18, 2019

And here’s Chuck Woolery with a zinger:

Libs, of course, aren’t happy:

Romney, 1/1/19: "I do not intend to comment on every tweet or fault. But I will speak out against significant statements or actions that are divisive, racist, sexist, anti-immigrant, dishonest or destructive to democratic institutions." Romney, 7/17/19: https://t.co/ZqnMsErVVa — Judd Legum (@JuddLegum) July 18, 2019

Mitt Romney is going to make believe eat hot dogs while the country burns. https://t.co/kewbArPdNW — Matt Ortega (@MattOrtega) July 18, 2019

When the president is doing Nazi stuff but you need to capitalize on big cultural moments https://t.co/mVB6emj3RV — Russell Steinberg (@Russ_Steinberg) July 18, 2019

Never change, libs.
