Tucker Carlson’s Kid Quits JD Vance’s Staff

  • On Saturday, Buckley Carlson departed the White House where he served as deputy press secretary to Vice President JD Vance, launching his own political consulting firm.
  • The exit coincides with an ongoing feud between President Donald Trump and Tucker Carlson over the Iran war, during which Trump insulted the elder Carlson as a "Hand Flailing Fool" and a "broken person."
  • A Vance official told reporters that Buckley first informed the office of his intention to depart in December, remaining for several months to ensure a smooth transition.
  • Buckley wrote on X/Twitter on Saturday that the president "doesn't work for his donors, for Israel, or for any other foreign power," referencing theories about Iran.
  • Right-Wing commentator Ben Shapiro argued last week that Vance must stop "honoring garbage" like Carlson, warning the feud threatens the conservative coalition needed for 2028 elections.
