American TV host and political commentator Tucker Carlson is the father of Buckley Carlson. When Buckley was born in 1997, he was named after Tucker’s younger brother, Buckley Swanson Peck Carlson. He is the second child and only son in his family.
He is the second child and only son in his family. He has an elder sister, Lillie born in 1995, Hopie in 1999 & Dorothy in 2002. He earned his degree from the University of Virginia with a Bachelor’s Degree in Government and Political Science.
Buckley Carlson is a Communications Director for Jim Banks, the US Representative from Indiana’s 3rd congressional district. He was recently promoted to the communications director position last year in January.
In July 2019, Carlson has the opportunity to work as an assistant under Banks. He went from being a press secretary to Communications Director in just 1 year. Before working under Jim, Carlson had an opportunity to work closely with President Trump as a communications intern.
In 2018, Buckley Carlson and his dad Tucker were having an angry dispute with a gay Latino man when the family was having dinner at the Farmington Country Club in Virginia. Hopie went to use the restroom with a friend near the end of dinner and on their way back a man stopped them. He asked if she was sitting next to Tucker before calling her “f***ing c**t,” and saying “Are you Tucker’s who**re?”
When Hopie returned to the table in tears, Buckley went into the bar and confronted the man. Carlson threw a glass of red wine in the man’s face and told him to leave, Tucker then described what happened to the club’s management. The man’s membership at this club was revoked after investigation. “I think any father can understand the overwhelming rage and shock that I felt seeing my teenage daughter attacked by a stranger. But I restrained myself. I didn’t assault this man, and neither did my son.”
The incident caused an uproar. It was said that Tucker spitted racist comments towards the man, which only fueled more controversy. When asked about the rumors, Carlson replied that he didn’t know the man was gay or Latino, and even if they knew it wouldn’t make any difference.
