THIS is the moment a son was forced to carry his anti-masker dad from a Tuscan store as he ranted at staff.
The man was filmed losing his cool in the Arizona store this week, as he raved at people for wearing coronavirus face coverings.
The footage soon went viral when it was posted on social media, showing the man repeatedly calling fellow customers “r*****s” and “p***ies.”
“Anti-masker in Tucson, AZ throws a tantrum and has to be carried out by his own son,” Twitter user Fifty Shades of Whey captioned it.
The clip shows the man raving about the face coverings meant to stop the spread of COVID-19, which has killed at least 160,000 Americans as of August 11.
“These people won’t learn – you’re a bunch’a idiots wearing those masks when you know it’s not real,” he can be heard shouting.
“Look at you fools: you’ve got a f***ing doily on your face! Re****! You look like you f***ing got it off your mom’s countertop.”
“Look at you, you giant f***ing dork,” he tells one man as his son tries to hold him back. “What are you going to do? Come outside, come outside.”
At this point in the video, one of two younger men with him can be heard saying “dad, come on!”
“I’ll beat that f***ing mask off your face, you f***ing re****!” he said, as he’s dragged outside by his son. “You’re all a bunch of p***ies wearing masks!
By this stage, the man, wearing a beige cap, had hoisted up his dad by the waist and carried him outside.
They left a crate knocked over as his son made a quick exit.
By last month, mask mandates have been enforced in many states, counties, and businesses to stop the spread of COVID-19, which continues to pummel the United States.
The country is currently the global epicenter with more than five million cases as nations contend with more than 732,000 deaths worldwide.
There were 1,282 US deaths reported on Tuesday, according to the Washington Post.
Fatalities in Florida and Georgia surged past their highest single-day death tolls since the beginning of the coronavirus crisis with 277 and 122, respectively.
There were deadly counts in hard-hit Texas (220) and California (109).
But face coverings, which mitigate the spread of the highly contagious virus, have become a politicized issue in the US.
The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has recommended that anyone over the age of two years should wear a face covering in public because even asymptomatic people can spread the virus.

<!--googleon: all-->Last month, CDC Director Robert Redfield said the country could control the spread if the majority of Americans wore masks as compliance increases.
Coronavirus droplets can live in the air for up to three hours and survive on surfaces for 72 hours when someone coughs or sneezes.
Masks provide a barrier, preventing saliva and mucus from flying out, which decreases the chances of transmitting the deadly virus.
