The humiliation of Tucker Carlson after his fallout with President Donald Trump has extended to his family, it seems.
Tucker Carlson’s son, Buckley, was reportedly ousted from Vice President JD Vance’s press team as the feud between the former Fox News star and Trump reaches a boiling point.
Buckley Carlson is departing to launch his own political consulting firm, according to The New York Post.
The departure comes as Tucker Carlson has spent weeks waging an increasingly nasty public campaign against Trump over the joint U.S.-Israeli war against Iran.
Trump fired back at Carlson and other critics of the war in a lengthy Truth Social post last week, calling Carlson out by name alongside other “MAGA” conservative commentators Alex Jones, Megyn Kelly, and Candace Owens.
“Tucker is a Low IQ person – Always easy to beat, and highly overrated!!! So are Megyn Kelly, ‘Candace’ (Really Dumb and mentally ill!), and Bankrupt Alex Jones, who is completely ‘fried.’ There are others, also! Then we have some that are VERY GOOD, true MAGA all the way, and smart. I should do a list of good, bad, and somewhere in the middle. Wouldn’t that be fascinating???” Trump wrote.
Carlson has fired back and called the president is a “slave” to foreign powers like Israel on Newsmax.
“I’ve always liked Trump and still feel sorry for him, as I do for all slaves,” Carlson said. Trump “can’t make his own decisions” and is “hemmed in by other forces,” he claimed.
He doubled down days later on the BBC’s Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg, stopping just short of saying Trump operates under Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s control.
“I don’t think it is as simple as ‘he is under the control of Netanyahu,’ but you could certainly summarize it that way and you wouldn’t be totally inaccurate,” Carlson said.
Former Israeli Ambassador to the United States Michael Oren said Carlson is ignoring decades of Iranian attacks on Americans.
“Every day since 1979, the Iranian regime swore to destroy the United States and, in pursuit of that pledge, sought to develop strategic weapons while committing hundreds of acts of war against Americans,” Oren said.
