Fox News host Tucker Carlson was confronted in a Montana fly fishing shop by a man who called him the "worst human being known to man."
The video was posted to Instagram by Dan Bailey, who berated Carlson, claiming he has killed people with vaccine misinformation and has supported "extreme racism."
In the video Carlson, who hosts "Tucker Carlson Tonight," can be seen inches from Bailey's face responding to his comments with "I appreciate that," and "I'm not going to debate you."

Bailey started to say something to Carlson but quickly stopped when Carlson called him "son." Bailey then responded with, "don't call me son," as he followed Carlson through the shop.

A Fox News spokesperson said "ambushing" Carlson, who was at the shop with his family, was "totally inexcusable," NBC News reported.
"No public figure should be accosted regardless of their political persuasion or beliefs simply due to the intolerance of another point of view," the spokesperson said.
The video was tagged by Instagram's "Visit the COVID-19 Information Center for vaccine resources" banner.
The shop where the incident occurred was Dan Bailey's Outdoor Company. Following the video going viral, the shop has said that it is not related to the Dan Bailey shown in the video.
"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 shop said in a statement.
