The photo featured Sasse, in basketball shorts and a t-shirt, sitting near the US Capitol chatting with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, a New York Democrat, who sported an unbuttoned shirt with his tie undone and his hair blowing in the wind, and GOP Sen. Tom Cotton of Arkansas, still in his full suit.
"Holy moly," Sasse tweeted. "It looks like @SenSchumer and I are smoking reefer outside a wedding..."
Schumer responded shortly after, saying "well that escalated quickly," taking a line from Will Ferrell's early 2000s comedy "Anchorman."

The Twitter account @darth edited the photo to show Schumer actually holding a "joint" — a marijuana cigarette.
"I thought we were off the record," Sasse tweeted.
