Fox News host Tucker Carlson, who has downplayed the storming of the U.S. Capitol, revealed in a new interview that his son, a House staffer, was in Congress on the day of the attack.

In an interview with Steve Krakauer on The Fourth Watch Podcast, the Fox News host mocked criticism for the unsubstantiated claims he advanced in Patriot Purge, his Fox Nation series on January 6th. At one point, Krakauer asked Carlson to explain why he wanted to give “a different look” at the Capitol riot.

“I hated what happened on January 6,” Carlson replied. He then added that “one of my kids was actually in the building when it happened. I was on the phone in real time.”

Carlson was likely referring to his son, Buckley Carlson, who works for Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN). . .

BUCKLEY?? Geez, Tucker is bad enough of a name for showing you are rich. But Buckley? The only "Buckley" I ever heard of was in Father of the Bride (great film). Geez.

1. How much you want to bet he's named after the

"William F. Buckley" variety

[OAITW r.2.0]

12. Buckley is a name that sounds like unearned privilage.

Much like Tucker.

Could Tucker's opinions on 1/6/21 be skewed by the fact that his son was an Insurrectionist? Sure seems likely.

[Hav]

14. Why insurrectionist?

"Tucker Carlson...revealed in a new interview that his son, a House staffer, was in Congress on the day of the attack."

[OAITW r.2.0]

16. OK, I will amend my point by qualifying where he was on that day.

If he was doing his intern job, serving as an intern in Congress, I retract my point....although, I still think that Tucker's opinions would still be influenced. If young Buckley was, in fact, at the rally, and participated in the actual chaos....then, no, my original comment stands.

[70sEraVet]

21. When I read the headline, I too thought Tucker's son was among the criminals.

[cstanleytech]

26. "I too thought Tucker's son was among the criminals." Well he does work for a Republican so does

that still count as working among criminals?

[2naSalit]

34. He works for an insurrectionist in a suit.

[Escurumbele]

35. I understood what you wrote initially, and I would not put it past Carlson to have involved his son

in the mess...Tucker being a creep himself must be working hard at raising creeps like him.

I hope the kid is different than his dad, I hope some reporter is able to present him to the World and see what kind of person he is.

[Fortinbras Armstrong]

24. I once met William F Buckley

He was charming and remarkably gracious to an extremely callow 19-year-old.

I disagree with his political views, but he did represent an intellectual level that modern conservatives largely reject.

[zipplewrath]

29. He purged the Burch Society

Buckley, for all he was wrong, purged conservatives of the whole John Birch/racist/conspiracy wing of the GOP. Over time, they found their way back in, mostly starting with Reagan but even as far back as Goldwater.

[bullwinkle428]

25. Exactly like "Ayn Rand Paul".

[Deminpenn]

39. This

Betting he's named after Wm F Buckley,

[Skittles]

2. gawd

I think Buckley's problems started with 1) having Tucker for a dad 2) being named Buckley Tucker

[rurallib]

17. Buckley tucker - oh crap!

What did they call him? Buck Tuck??

Fuck Buck Tuck?

O crap-----

[Skittles]

23. OOPS

I meant Buckley Carlson but I was thinking Tucker Fuckley

[ashredux]

3. Buckley? LOL....good God...idiot

[mahina]

7. Right? Why, the registration people wouldn't let him name him Republibucks

F Tuckerbillions?

[bucolic_frolic]

4. That's kind of a journalistic conflict

[dchill]

28. There is no such thing at FoxNews.

[pnwmom]

5. Wonder if he was one of the tour givers the day before. n/t

[AngryOldDem]

9. Same thing I was wondering.

Given his pedigree, I’m sure Buck was more than happy to help.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

6. Such inconsistency! Why was Cucker on the phone "in real time" if it was a NothingBurger?

[iemanja]

10. named for William F Buckley

undoubtedly.

[dweller]

11. L O C K. H I M. UP !!

just for the hell of it 😊

✌🏻

[Drunken Irishman]

13. Was this the son Tucker asked Hunter Biden to write a letter of recommendation for to Georgetown?

[Qutzupalotl]

15. Yes, that's the one.

Some friend Tucker is, huh?

[XanaDUer2]

18. Buckle up, Tuck nt

[Baitball Blogger]

19. D-oh!

[7wo7rees]

20. His son is named after Tucker's brother. n/t

[VGNonly]

32. Thx... I wish I could figure out smart stuff like pics and links. I always think of this scene

when I think of little lord tuckeroy

[MadameButterfly]

27. accuse the other side of what you are doing

Tucker Carlson re: January 6:
"I’m from Washington. I hate disorder. I hate breaking windows above all else. I just don’t like when people break windows or litter. I’m about order and my house is clean, I really believe in that. So if people covering January 6th had been willing to just roughly tell the truth…but not use it as a partisan instrument to suspend civil liberties, I kinda would’ve just let it lie. Okay, people got all wound up, I get it. Some of them misbehaved, I’m not gonna defend that, but it has been used like so many events throughout history as a pretext for something else. So they lie about what actually happened, they repeat the lie with maximum aggression, and over time, that lie solidifies into the common understanding of what happened."

Yeah, Tucker, $30 million worth of breaking windows, litter, and damage. The difference between these guys and tourists, is tourists would have been sent the bill for the damages.
I’m glad to hear Tucker believes in something. A clean house. (I wonder who cleans his though.) But is he really going to make this about housecleaning? Seriously?
If Dems did this, would it be people getting “all wound up”, deserving a slap on the hand? They’d be asking Kyle Rittenhouse to step in.
But what really gets me is the part about the lie. It’s uncanny how they accuse Dems of exactly what they are doing.
I think the advice from Putin was: Accuse the other side of what you are doing, so when they point out what you are doing no one will know the difference.
What’s in all this for Tucker? Does he understand that under Dictator Trump, puppet of Putin, that even he, Tucker, will no longer have the freedom to speak his mind?

30. Tucker Carlson has had sex ???

[Generic Brad]

33. If you can call mold spores reproducing in a dark, damp space "sex"

Then, yeah.

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

40. That would have been a great true or false question on Hollywood Squares.

Paul Lynde would have had fun with this one.

[amcgrath]

31. Tucker Carlson has had sex ???

[keithbvadu2]

36. Was Sonny boy too cowardly (like Lindsey?) to go greet the tourists?

Was Sonny boy too cowardly (like Lindsey?) to go greet the tourists?

[Ka-Dinh Oy]

37. Well, now the police know who else to go get and charge.

Does tucker not realize that the police are still gathering people who they find out participated with the insurrection?

[rockfordfile]

38. So his son is a un-American pos just like him?

[NCjack]

41. Drag Buckle before the House committee. The People should know all he knows.

[yardwork]

42. Tucker asked Hunter Biden for a letter of recommendation to get his son into Georgetown.

Tucker and Hunter were friendly, based on their email exchange. This needs more publicity, because it shines a light on what a cowardly liar Tucker Carlson is, and how his Fox News act is just money-making theatre. Anybody who believes a word Tucker says is being conned.

43. I'm disgusted to hear traitor Carlson has spawn

I can only hope the young man extricates himself from his father's web of hate and treason.
