Videos: Nusr-Et aka Salt Bae under fire for serving Venezuela's President Maduro

Restaurant owner and chef, Nusr Et also know as Salt Bae has been slammed for serving Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro in since deleted footage.
This is because Venezula is currently in the middle of a democratic crisis and Maduro's leadership is recognized by many as a dictatorship.
Maduro has held power since 2013.

Salt Bae even gifted Maduro a T-shirt:


US politician Marco Rubio was the first to criticise the footage:
Nicolás Maduro was returning from a state trip to China when he stopped over in Turkey and visited the famous restaurant.
Part of the Venezuelan population are without food, the economy is in crisis. The visit caused online consternation that the president chose to enjoy a 'lavish' meal at the famed restaurant.

Some even called for boycott:


I honestly do not see anything wrong in Salt Bae serving Maduro. Salt Bae is an entrepreneur who serves many of his customers.
If he declined serving Maduro, I bet the world would have criticized him more, labeling him a racist or a rude person!
