Rubio condemns social media star Salt Bae after chef mingles with Venezuela's Maduro

Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., condemned social media star Salt Bae on Monday after the Turkish chef appeared in a video with Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro at a restaurant.

Video posted to social media showed Maduro, whose socialist country is in the middle of an economic disaster, eating expensive steak at one of the chef’s restaurants 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,” Rubio wrote in a tweet. “He is actually the overweight dictator of a nation where 30% of the people eat only once a day & infants are suffering from malnutrition.”

Salt Bae, whose real name is Nusret Gokce, calls meeting Maduro a “once in a lifetime moment,” according to The Independent. Maduro is also seen smoking a cigar with his wife, Cilia Flores.
