A Canadian politician gets scammed online after sharing a photo on Twitter showing his wife shoveling snow after a 12-hour shift at the hospital.
The only thing he shoveled was his grave on social media.
Canadian politician gets ripped off online after sharing a photo on Twitter showing his wife shoveling snow after a 12-hour shift at the hospital, the New York Post reports.
The obtuse tweet currently has over 19,000 retweets and nearly 40,000 likes as of Monday morning.
In the controversial post on Saturday morning, Manitoba Cabinet Minister Jon Reyes wrote: “Even after a 12-hour night shift in the hospital last night, my wife still has the energy to shovel the shovel. alley.
“God bless her and all of our frontliners,” he added. “It’s time to make him some breakfast.” “
The attached photo, taken from inside the house, shows Reyes’ wife Cynthia digging snow from their driveway as she is bundled up in a Fargo-esque winter coat.
Mercury has dropped, according to TimeAndDate.com at a scary -2F (-19C) in Winnipeg on Saturday morning.
Suffice it to say, the photo didn’t suit the Peanuts Twitter gallery, which wondered why Reyes hadn’t lent a helping hand.
“Why are you looking and not shoveling? That tweet sucks, “blasted one gaffe critic, while another wrote:” He saw his wife shoveling after a 12 hour shift and his first thought was to let me tweet about this lol. “
“During the 12 hours she cleaned up after your government disaster, you didn’t find the time to shovel it yourself?” stammered an incredulous commentator, presumably referring to the recent peak of Covid in Manitoba.
A detractor tweeted a video of a man in a bathrobe looking outside with the caption: “I should take a picture.”
Another mocked Reyes’ awkward offer to cook his beleaguered wife’s breakfast, saying, “Hmm… I wonder if she wants strawberry or brown sugar tarts.”
However, Cynthia Reyes herself has since stood up for her husband, claiming in a recent tweet that she volunteered to shovel the driveway.
Nonetheless, unfriendly Twitter critics joked that Reyes made him create a Twitter profile just to defend him.
