A Montana man confronted Tucker Carlson, the Fox News host, at a fishing store calling him the “worst human being known to man.”

In the short video released by the man, Dan Bailey, shared on his Instagram, Carlson seems like he is trying to play cool after being called the “worst human being,” telling him that “I appreciate that.”

Coincidently, the man who confronted the TV host shares the same name as the founder of the fishing store that the shop’s named after, Dan Bailey, which made people think that the man was the owner of the store.

“On July 23rd, a well-known television personality, Tucker Carlson, was affronted while shopping at Dan Bailey’s Outdoor company,” Dale Sexton, the store owner, said in a statement. “Coincidentally, the person engaging Mr. Carlson was a local resident named Dan Bailey.”

After the video was released, Fox News immediately denounced the man who confronted Carlson.
