Tucker Carlson's Son Gets 'Cushy Nepo Job' That's Close To Trump
HuffPost
Buckley Carlson previously worked for Indiana Republican Jim Banks.
Buckley Carlson, the son of Fox News exile Tucker Carlson, landed a new gig as deputy press secretary for Vice President JD Vance, sources told ABC News and The Hill on Monday.
The Daily Beast took a more jaundiced view of the younger Carlson’s new gig, calling it a “cushy nepo job.”
Buckley Carlson recently served as deputy chief of staff for Republican Jim Banks, a Donald Trump-loving four-term congressman from Indiana who is now a U.S. senator.
The elder Carlson has a show on the social media platform X and endorsed Trump at the Republican National Convention after privately saying he detested him. His name had popped up as a possibility for Trump’s running mate before JD Vance got the nod.
