Tucker Carlson's Son Buckley Lands High-Profile Role on J.D. Vance's Team
Tucker Carlson's son, Buckley Carlson, will join J.D. Vance's vice presidential staff as a deputy press secretary. Tucker, a far-right media personality and ally to Donald Trump, has long been a controversial figure in conservative politics
Meritocracy!
Dipshits, ex-boyfriends, and imbeciles.
He has a face that says "just low enough on the hierarchy to avoid facing any consequences for his fascism"
That is the whitest name I have ever heard.
I guarantee you that he named him after William F. Buckley.
I also guarantee you that Buckley would have fucking hated Trump because he was an "intellectual" (big snob) and did not like people who weren't.
Edit: He did, in fact, hate Trump. But don't ask me why he chose Cigar Aficionado magazine to talk about it. https://www.nationalreview.com/2016/01/william-f-buckley-donald-trump-demagoguery-cigar-aficionado/
Well the surname Tucker was a pretty prominent name on the side of the confederacy. I’m guessing that wasn’t a mistake.
While that was an interesting read, things like this always sound like they are written by a person who has options. The option to leave on a permanent vacation to Italy, or some other beautiful coast line.
the resistance to a corrupting demagogy should take first priority.
This is blunt, but ultimately useless, the way a knife gets when you don’t sharpen it.
And, as you pointed out, this is Cigar Aficionado. What a strange place for this to land.
I'm no fan of Buckley's, but I'm almost sad he didn't live long enough to rant about MAGA.
That would've been high entertainment.
I had the same thought, did a search as soon as I heard "Buckley" myself, but if he is named after William F. Buckley, there doesn't appear to be any statement online about it.
And there does appear to be some material saying that Tucker Carlson doesn't like William F. Buckley.
Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson agreed wholeheartedly with the assertion that National Review founding editor William F. Buckley Jr. was “one of the great villains of the 20th century” during a Wednesday interview with Dave Smith, a comedian and libertarian YouTube host.
Smith launched the initial attack on Buckley, declaring “I’ll tell you this: Whatever this atrophy in like the intelligence of the American people, it’s, I think it’s accelerating. I mean it’s-. Look, and again, just like you said I’ll disclaimer as well: I’m talking about people who I don’t necessarily like. Like I view Bill Buckley as like one of the great villains of the 20th century. I think he ruined-”
At that point, Carlson interrupted to shout “I couldn’t agree more!” and pound his fist on a table with a laugh.
I was thinking "douchiest", but why not both?
European Americans getting in on the meritocracy racket. Tip top.
I'm sure it is just a coincidence that 27 year old Buckley is Tucker's son. I am certain he got to the White House based on his long and successful career.
The former Fox News personality's only son has worked on Capitol Hill since 2019 — as a staff assistant, communications director, and deputy chief of staff to Indiana Republican Jim Banks.
It's not nothing, but I doubt he held these jobs due to experience, given that this was ages 22-28.
Nepo baby for sure
Ugh. Jim Banks is such a piece of shit. That doesn't surprise me at all.
He's a household name around here! I can't go to the supermarket without hearing someone prattling on about Buckley's latest achievements. I mean i get it, the dude is an overachiever and a household name already--but can we please stop pretending he's the second coming? Yes, i subscribe to his weekly newsletters, yes i host a podcast about his ascent to greatness, yes i have been banned from his fanclub on Facebook (they'll never show him the love that I can), but please for fucks sake can we just talk about anybody else for like 2 minutes please?!?
Meritocracy
Guys. The traitor shitcunt convicted felon president currently has a publicly traded company listed on the NASDAQ. He just raked in probably billions in thinly veiled bribes via his newly minted shitcoin. The First Whore has a shitcoin of her own. Kushner is making how much in real estate deals worldwide, including plans for Gaza?
Corruption like that described in this article barely fucking registers.
If the tide doesn't turn by the midterms, I'd imagine that political violence is the only way out of this mess.
Don't worry Trump's planning on inflicting plenty of political violence. It's why the Democrats are being so cowardly right now.
Is this what they call a DEI hire?
Who the fuck names their kid Buckley
Strangely, a lot of people recently:
Maybe a successful TV show has/had a character named Buckley? All I can think of is Andy Buckley (The guy that played David Wallace in The Office). It tracks with the time-frame the name became popular, but it’s probably unlikely.
I mean, as cool as he was in that show, I’m not sure he’s an “I’m going to name my child after that guy!” kind of cool.
Aside from him, there’s a character named “Evan Buckley” who was in a show called 9-1-1. But that aired around 2018, which is too recent to have inspired people to name their crotch gremlins after.
Then there is Jeff Buckley (Hallelujah) who was a musician that passed away in 1997. Maybe the uptick is a result of people who were fans?
EDIT: Vyvanse kicked in and when on a detail-oriented binge of edits.
/infodump
You also had Buckley on King of the Hill. (Possibly where the data initially starts.)
It's more than likely this asshole
... or Tucker
when they come out looking asymmetrical
Shit, it reproduced?
Buckley?
Jesus Christ..
Of course his names Buckley.
The shit apple doesn't fall too far from the shit tree.
Else it gets the splash again
Totally a merit hire, ya? Lolol
Nepo baby incest for the win? Kakistocracy mask off with this one.
Fucker and Fuckley!
I thought Tucker was gay
Sucking right from the weirdest teat in the union.
Pretty much confirming here what we all have been saying:
The plan is to get Trump out of the way.
Trump hates Tucker, and the world knows what Tucker has said about Trump, we have the texts.
Good Lord that kid looks like inbreeding the image. Oh that poor fuck. Not only to have Tucker Carlson as a parent but to inherit the worst of his genes.
Well, I'm sure Tuckems son got the job because of meritocracy. Of course.
Cuckley hast the face of a real smart Winner.
Buckley
Probably named after William Buckley Jr? Which is a little surprising cuz I thought Tucker was. John Birch Society guy but maybe that was only when he was younger
Why do they all look like they were the very child that they molested?
Buckley and Tucker.
LUL, reminds me of that one George Carlin bit.
More like Suckley
