U.S. Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer accepted a Rolls-Royce car as a gift from the British government.
Rating:

Labeled Satire

A rumor that U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer, the Democratic leader, accepted a Rolls-Royce car as a gift from the British government circulated online in May 2025.

For example, on May 14, the America's Last Line of Defense Facebook page posted (archived) a meme showing a photo of Schumer and reading, "Chuck Schumer wants everyone to know that it's 'treason' for the U.S. government to accept a free jumbo jet from a foreign country. The same Chuck Schumer who drives to work everyday in a Rolls Royce GIFTED to him by the British Government." Other users also shared this rumor on Facebook and X.
