An Arizona man was seen being carried out of a store apparently by his son as he went on a rant against mask-wearing in footage that has racked up millions of views on social media.
The footage, which was posted to Twitter on Monday and has since fetched over 6 million views, shows the man yelling at others in the store and calling them “idiots” for wearing for masks, despite public health guidelines urging people to do so to curb the spread of COVID-19.
“These people won’t learn. You’re a bunch of idiots wearing masks, you know it’s not real,” he yells. “Look at you fools. You got a f–ing doily on your face”
“You look like an idiot, you’re the child. You’re trying to make me wear a mask,” he continues, appearing to talk to someone off-screen.
Seconds later, two men, one of which called him dad, could be seen attempting to steer him out of the store.
“C’mon dad,” one man is heard saying while trying to take his apparent father out of the store before he goes on to tell someone, “Come outside and show me how tough you are.”
“I’ll beat that f–king mask off your face,” he says before he is eventually carried out of the store.
The incident occurred at a Sprouts Farmers Market in Tucson, where residents above the age of 5 are required to where face coverings in public spaces under a measure passed in June.
WATCH: Anti-Mask Rant
A Sprouts spokesperson said that the company was unable to elaborate on the incident that occurred Saturday due to a pending investigation.
“Following company guidelines, Sprouts management did not physically engage with the individuals, but instead notified local police of the disruption before the individuals exited the store,” the spokesperson said in a statement.
The new video is just latest to go viral showing customers get frustrated in stores over mask policies and recommendations.
