A confrontation between a man in a Montana fishing shop and Fox News star Tucker Carlson has gone viral.
The video shows a man identified as Dan Bailey accusing Carlson of killing people with bad information and the COVID-19 vaccine. Bailey also accused Carlson of supporting “extreme racism.”
Carlson seems caught off guard by the accusations. At one point he responds to Bailey saying, “I appreciate that” and refers to him as “son” before he walks away laughing.
“No public figure should be accosted regardless of their political persuasion or beliefs simply due to the intolerance of another point of view,” a Fox News spokesperson told NBC News.
In a statement, the shop, Dan Bailey’s Outdoor Company, said the business was not related to the Dan Bailey shown in the video and added: “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.”
