When a
local fly fishing guide spotted noted vaccine skeptic Tucker Carlson at a
sporting goods store in Livingston, Montana, he did not waste time.
“You are
the worst human being known to mankind. I want you to know that,” Dan Bailey
can be heard telling the Fox News host in a video posted to his Instagram page
Friday night.
He
captioned the video: “It’s not everyday you get to tell someone they are the
worst person in the world and really mean it! What an asshole!”
Although
the video was filmed inside Dan Bailey’s Fly Shop on Friday, the store is not
affiliated with the man who filmed the video, according to a statement on its
website.
“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,” the store’s owner, Dale Sexton,
said in a statement.
In his
Instagram caption, Bailey wrote of Carlson, “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.”
Much of the
brief conversation ― apparently filmed by a shaky mobile phone ― is difficult
to make out. Carlson, in a plaid button-down and a gold watch, can be seen
holding his hand up against Bailey’s chest, making his trademark exaggerated
facial expressions. He appears to grimace, and then, realizing he is being
filmed, spreads his mouth into a grin and turns away.
Bailey can
be heard saying: “What you have done to people’s families, what you have done
to everyone else ― ”
Carlson
then appears to condescend to the man, calling him “son” as he walks away.
The Fox
host, whose weeknight opinion program regularly leads the nightly news ratings,
has attracted special attention for continuing to cast a mountain of doubt on
COVID-19 vaccines even while fellow conservatives pivot their messaging in
favor of inoculation. Thanks in large part to the highly contagious delta
variant, cases are steadily rising once more in conservative-leaning regions of
the country that lag behind other regions in vaccination.
