No matter your thoughts on the political and economic crises in Venezuela, the country's president, Nicolás Maduro, definitely should not be seen snacking on luxury meats while his constituents starve. This is something of a recurring problem for Maduro.
But getting filmed stuffing his face with delicate, tender morsels of steak hand-cut by Turkish meat douchebag Nusret "Salt Bae" Gökçe was a bridge too far for many Venezuelans. And now more than 100 people have gathered outside Gökçe's restaurant in Brickell to yell at the Meme Steak Man.

Miamians have now resorted to the time-old tradition of yelling angry reviews directly at the side of the building. They were egged on by Sen. Marco Rubio, who thought a good use of his Twitter platform was to dox
Screaming at Salt Bae might seem bizarre, but the world needs more crowds gathering to yell at the glad-handers and yes-men making the lives of criminal aristocrats needlessly comfy. Perhaps we can do this next for the Miami restaurateur who continues to appear at Trump events.
