Tucker Carlson’s son is no longer serving as part of JD Vance’s team in the White House, a new report claims. The departure comes amid an ongoing feud between his father and President Donald Trump.
Buckley Carlson exits JD Vance’s team, claims report
Tucker Carlson’s son, Buckley Carlson, has left his role as deputy press secretary in JD Vance’s team, Politico has reported.
According to the report, Buckley stepped down from the role and is now looking to launch his own political consulting firm. A Vance official stated that the young Carlson had signaled his plans to exit months earlier.
“Buckley first informed the VP’s office of his intention to depart in December,” the insider shared. The official added that Buckley ultimately chose to stay in the position longer than he had intended “to ensure a smooth transition.”
Buckley Carlson’s departure from the White House comes amid an ongoing feud between his father, Tucker Carlson, and President Donald Trump.
Earlier this month, Trump launched a scathing attack on Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and Alex Jones. “Flailing Fools like Tucker Carlson, who couldn’t even finish College, he was a broken man when he got fired from Fox, and he’s never been the same — Perhaps he should see a good psychiatrist!” the President said in a Truth Social post on April 10.
A week later, in another post, Trump wrote, “It’s easy! Tucker is a Low IQ person – Always easy to beat, and highly overrated!!!”
Meanwhile, in the April 16 episode of his podcast, Tucker slammed Trump’s controversial AI-generated post of himself as Jesus Christ. “It’s mockery. He’s mocking Jesus. He’s making fun of Christianity,” the right-wing political pundit stated.
Furthermore, Tucker also called Trump out over his profanity-laced threat to Iran on Easter morning earlier this month. “How dare you speak that way on Easter morning to the country? Who do you think you are? You’re tweeting out the f- word on Easter morning,” the Fox News alum said at the time.
