A Marco Rubio tweet from Monday night may have been a little too salty for The Weekly Standard.

The conservative publication's Ethan Epstein wrote a column Tuesday arguing that Rubio's tweet, which listed the phone number of a Miami restaurant, "looked dangerously close to online harassment."

The online kerfuffle started when pictures surfaced of Nusret Gokce, a Turkish chef also known as "Salt Bae," serving Venezuelan president Nicholas Maduro at Gokce's Istanbul restaurant. Maduro, who runs a country where starvation is rampant and his political enemies are jailed, is a frequent target of criticism from politicians across the ideological spectrum.

Rubio, the Republican senator from Florida, has been among Maduro's most vocal critics. On Monday, he took to Twitter to voice his outrage at Gokce's accommodation of the "dictator," Maduro.

"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," Rubio tweeted, before listing the restaurant's phone number.

Epstein, the associate editor at The Weekly Standard, wrote that Rubio listing the Miami location's phone number was a step too far.

"What good, after all, does the phone number do? Salt Bae does not live in Miami—he's based in Turkey. And even if he were in Miami, good luck getting him on the phone at his restaurant by calling the main line," Epstein wrote. "Providing the phone number, therefore, can only do one thing: Encourage a campaign of harassment against beleaguered wait staff, maître d's, chefs, and whoever is unlucky enough to pick up the phone there for the next few days."

Rubio responded to The Weekly Standard column on Twitter Tuesday afternoon.

"Sad you don't see the big difference between shaming someone because you disagree on a political issue and shaming a celebrity chef, who didn't just host Maduro, he promoted videos of the lavish feast," Rubio tweeted.

And a Rubio spokeswoman noted how the magazine's coverage differed from that of media outlets closer to South Florida, most of which have focused more on the controversial meal than the senator's reaction to it.
