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 Baileys 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.

(20,822 posts)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.

Followed by TC crying as he rolls into a fetal position screaming "Don't kill me."

(26,449 posts)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.

(2,376 posts)But missed the confrontation. Alas! Id have piled on.
A more general note. Its clear Livingston locals are over visitors. If they dont make money directly from the tourist trade theyre often not that friendly. My California plates seems to antagonize them. The vibe is decidedly weird on the streets. Ive been visiting every few years for a couple decades. Formerly a cool small town, its 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 cant get enough of that out of state money

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
Bobstandard
(2,376 posts)Should gay people stay in the closet? Black people pretend to be white? Progressive pretend to be Trumpists. Im not hiding who I am to stay off the radar of assholes. You can if you want though.

Problem solved

(7,583 posts)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.
