Blue-check libs are trashing Marco Rubio after he GOES TO WAR against ... the Salt Bae?

Marco Rubio is calling out the Salt Bae, who is real life is Turkish chef and restaurateur Nusret Gökçe best known for the meme featuring him flicking salt on a meal, after the “weirdo” posted video of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro enjoying a lavish steak dinner with cigars while at his restaurant in Turkey:

I don’t know who this weirdo #Saltbae is, but the guy he is so proud to host is not the President of #Venezuela. He is actually the overweight dictator of a nation where 30% of the people eat only once a day & infants are suffering from malnutrition. https://t.co/sSNPK9cAAx

Sen. Rubio even encouraged those angry at Gökçe to harass his restaurant in Miami over it:

This guy @nusr_ett who admires dictator @NicolasMaduro so much actually owns a steakhouse in, of all places, #Miami. It’s called NUSR-ET STEAKHOUSE MIAMI located at 999 Brickell Avenue, Miami, FL 33131
The phone number is 1 305 415 9990 in case anyone wanted to call. https://t.co/7CDkgHVZWh

Sen. Rubio continued the attack:

While some like @nusr_ett feed dictators like Nicolas Maduro, others are helping to feed innocent children being starved by the Maduro regime in #Venezuela. https://t.co/mCAUd2gJ65

Although Gökçe deleted the videos from *his* social media, the internet is forever:

I know things are wild lately, but I never expected to see Salt Bae serving a feast to Nicolas Maduro pic.twitter.com/ao6dmLqRZe

Of course, libs aren’t happy with Sen. Rubio calling out Gökçe for hosting the brutal dictator:

Government officials doxing people is straight out of the Donald J Trump playbook and it’s never good. Though seeing someone so self-righteous do it is kind of amazing. https://t.co/IYlFyIQ6Yn

You're a United States Senator. How are you not better than this?

I can't believe I donated to your campaign in 2016… https://t.co/g8Bb310bdI

Please report this loser to Twitter for targeted harassment.

I vehemently oppose Maduro's dictatorship, but @marcorubio can't make a right with two wrongs and needs to be sent to Twitter jail for a while.

As a public official, he should know this is wrong.#TuesdayThoughts https://t.co/Q0zbeqs7Cf

You finally decide to grow a backbone and call someone out for cozying up to dictators, and you decide to direct your ire toward a meme-steak salesman? https://t.co/bdtjeFUrkl

Yes. He just grew a “backbone” despite being a possible target by the Maduro regime? Try again:
