Someone buy Dan Bailey a drink. Or send him an Edible Arrangement. Maybe even a gift card or two. Anything to show appreciation for giving Tucker Carlson the smoke right to his smug face.

Slate reports that Bailey, a Livingston, Mont. fly-fishing guide, approached Fox Newsโ resident vaccine misinformation-spewing, QAnon-denying, human boat shoe with resting constipation face at a local fishing store. Bailey posted a short video of his interaction with Carlson on his Instagram profile Saturday.
In the video, Bailey tells Carlson the is โthe worst human being known to man.โ Carlson responded with โI appreciate thatโ and flashed his best โClark Griswold before he cussed his whole family out over a cartoon mooseโ smile.
Hereโs more from Slate:
It appears Carlson at one point asks him to keep in mind he is with his child. โI donโt care, man,โ Bailey replies. He went on to say: โWhat you have done to this state, to the United States, to everyone else in this world. What you have done to families, what you have done to everybody else in this world. I donโt care that your daughter is here. What youโve done to peopleโs familiesโฆโ Carlson keeps whispering and replies: โSettle down, son.โ
Bailey tells Carlson to not call him son, but the Fox News host walks away and thatโs where the video ends.
Bailey continued to go in on Carlson in the caption for the Instagram post, saying this:
Itโs not everyday you get to tell someone they are the worst person in the world and really mean it! What an asshole! 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.
Coincidentally, Slate reports, this all happened at Dan Baileyโs Outdoor Company in Livingston. The Dan Bailey in the video is not the namesake of the store, according to a statement that the company posted on its website:
This person has no affiliation with our business, other than he shares the same name as our founder, who passed away in 1982. 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.
Regardless, itโs always a treat to see someone stand up to Carlson and his ilk. I just might rewatch Jon Stewartโs appearance on Crossfire from back in the day, where he cooked Carlson and Paul Begala so badly that the show was yanked off the air not too long after it. Itโs fun to reminisce.
