Man Confronts Tucker Carlson At Montana Store: 'You Are The Worst Human Being'

The Fox host got an earful when he popped into a fly fishing store.

By Sara Boboltz

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.

In his Instagram caption, Bailey wrote, “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.

He doesn’t need the money, he never has. This is a game to him and he has little to worry about the consequences messing with his life.

the first time that finger hit my chest, Tucker would hit the floor. Even at 72, I'm a big boy and still in pretty good shape. I certainly wouldn't back down from that silver spoon -fed little shit.

I love Livingston, Montana. I was planning to stop in Livingston next year, on my way (I-90) to Idaho for fire season. I've got a place to stay in Livingston, and my bud and I are planning to flip a few flies on the Yellowstone river. If I figure out who this guide is, I'll hire him for a day on the river.

But missed the confrontation. Alas! I’d have piled on.

A more general note. It’s clear Livingston locals are over visitors. If they don’t make money directly from the tourist trade they’re often not that friendly. My California plates seems to antagonize them. The vibe is decidedly weird on the streets. I’ve been visiting every few years for a couple decades. Formerly a cool small town, it’s now a pretty good example of lack of planning. Lucky for big landowners and arriviste developers, the Montana penchant for ‘freedom’ means that they have free reign to spoil the place for the cash. Anger at outsiders is a smoke screen for the home grown exploiters who can’t get enough of that out of state money

And writers and artists too

But it has its share of unfriendly folks and those who do not like outsiders

Ditch the Cali plates or cover it in road dust. Dress from a thrift store and buy rounds at the bar

No way do schwein like him (or Cheney in Jackson (Hole) Wy.) deserve to even breathe the air in such magnificient environs. Pretty sure they never lifted a finger to protect or preserve any of them but they love to plop their humongous butts there.
