A man has shared the moment he confronted Tucker Carlson at a sporting goods store in Livingston, Montana.
In a video shared to Instagram, a man by the name of Dan Bailey can be seen confronting the divisive Fox News presenter over his casting doubts over the safety and efficiency of the Covid-19 vaccine. In fact, last month Carlson compared the safety protocols introduced amid the pandemic as a "medical Jim Crow".
However, Bailey is one viewer who has clearly had enough of Carlson's rants, and took the opportunity to let the Fox present know exactly what he thinks of him.
Posting the footage on July 24, Bailey captioned the video:
Check out the video below:"It’s not everyday you get to tell someone they are the worst person in the world and really mean it! What an a**hole!
"This man has killed more people with vaccine misinformation, he has supported extreme racism, he is a fascist and does more to rip this country apart than anyone that calls themselves an American."
In the video, Bailey can be seen calling Carlson "the worst human being known to mankind", before adding: "What you have done to people’s families, what you have done to everyone else ― "
At the end of the uncomfortable encounter, Carlson can be seen calling Bailey "son", as he walks away.
After amassing over 97,000 views on the social media platform, Bailey has been flooded with support in the comments section:
Per the Huffington Post, despite the fact that the video was filmed inside the Dan Bailey’s Fly Shop on Friday, the store's owner, Dale Sexton, has confirmed in a statement that the man in the video has no affiliation with the store - and it is simply a coincidence that he shares the same name as the store's late founder.
"This person has no affiliation with our business, other than he shares the same name as our founder, who passed away in 1982. To be clear, we treat every customer equally and respectfully. Our staff was professional and cordial to Mr. Carlson, as we are with all of our customers," Sexton said in a statement.
