**In Brief:**
* Buckley Carlson, the 28-year-old son of conservative media personality Tucker Carlson, quit working for Vance, Politico reports. He has been working as a press assistant in the vice president’s office since January 2025, just after the inauguration.
* The timing of Buckley’s departure raises eyebrows, as President Donald Trump has been in a nonstop rage against his father over Tucker’s criticism of the war in Iran.
* Tucker has been one of the most outspoken conservative media figures against Trump’s war with Iran since it was launched Feb. 28.
* He has also been against American military action in the Middle East throughout his career, having long railed against the older “neocon” era of the Republican Party.
* In recent weeks, he has taken to his online show, *The Tucker Carlson Show*, to publicly bash Trump for engaging in a war with Iran.
Indeed, there is a special seat in hell reserved for Tucker Carlson for his role in boosting Trump and Vance.
That’s a weird way to spell Peter thiel.
The GOP split continues… the pressure to rid Buckley comes from Dumpy’s corner.
I guess we gotta appreciate someone putting their family ahead of the MAGA cult.
Tuck and Buck threw JD under the garbage truck.
Looks like a move Tucker would want if he was thinking of running for president. He’s a hateful sack of shit and I hope he steps on Lego, but if he wants an issue to point to that differentiates him from the Trump administration he was boosting until 10 minutes ago, Iran is gift-wrapped for him.
Buckley…heh… straight outta the pages of BLOOM COUNTY
Ha! My son went to UVA at the same time as ole Buckley, and he was a well-known coke head. My boy lived across from BC’s coke dealer
Tucker’s spawn area already infiltrating our politics? God bless us all.
Buckley Carlson is such an aesthetically bad name. It really trips off the tongue.
Buckley Carlson might be the most Roger persona sounding name ever.
Of course Tucker Carlson named his som Buckley.
Tucker & Buckley what’s with this family naming their kids with douchey names
Vance, do the right thing and just straight up turn on Trump please, save any last shred of decency you may have
“This Buckley kid has a famous father? You’re telling me this for the first time”
Naming your kid after William F. Buckley is so cringe
No, that would be Peter Thiel who threw millions at Vance to get him a senate seat
Tucker and Buckley are hilarious names haha
To an older Australian such as myself naming some “Buckley” is quite amusing.
IN the 19th C we had a politician whose surname was Buckley who always lost. It became proverbial: “You have two chances, none and Buckley’s”.
Just another reminder that J.D. Vance isn’t a person, he’s a digital opinion piece penned by Tucker Carlson and Peter Thiel who breaks ties in the Senate and kills Popes.
So Tucker named his son after William F. Buckley.
Sounds like a name you’d give your dog.
… did he work at the Megalo Mart?
What an absolute dumpster fire of an administration.
Buckley was my dorm hall mate at UVA in 2015/16. He and his roommate just stunk the place up with weed all day, every day. Almost never interacted with the rest of us in the hall. Weird guy.
I hate Tucker even more now.
Tucker and Buckley sound like dog names.
