<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\nA White House staffing move is drawing attention as tensions grow between two big MAGA conservative figures.Buckley Carlson, the son of right-wing commentator Tucker Carlson, has stepped down from his role in JD Vance<\/a>\u2019s press team and is moving into the private sector to start a political consulting firm.Carlson served as deputy press secretary since the start of the second Trump administration. He is among several White House staff leaving government roles. The exits are not unusual but the timing has drawn notice because of a deepening public feud between his father and Donald Trump<\/a> over several issues.Trump and Tucker Carlson were once close allies but their relationship has deteriorated in recent months. Trump has openly criticised the broadcaster, writing earlier this month, \u201cFlailing Fools like Tucker Carlson, who couldn\u2019t even finish College, he was a broken man when he got fired from Fox, and he\u2019s never been the same \u2014 Perhaps he should see a good psychiatrist!\u201dPOTUS continued his attacks days later, posting, \u201cTucker is a Low IQ person \u2013 Always easy to beat, and highly overrated.\u201dTucker Carlson has also been critical of the GOP administration, though he has often avoided naming Trump directly. Instead, he has directed blame at figures such as Benjamin Netanyahu over issues including the conflict involving Iran. He had also privately urged Trump not to escalate tensions.In interviews, Carlson has spoken more directly about his concerns. He told the BBC he was \u201chorrified\u201d by the president\u2019s warning that \u201ca whole civilization will die tonight\u201d if Iran did not reach an agreement. In a separate interview with Newsmax, he said, \u201cI\u2019ve always liked Trump and still feel sorry for him, as I do for all slaves,\u201d and claimed the president \u201ccan\u2019t make his own decisions\u201d and is \u201chemmed in by other forces.\u201dThe dispute also webbed in other conservative media figures. Trump has appeared to side with radio host Mark Levin, while criticising commentators such as Megyn Kelly and Candace Owens.Buckley Carlson\u2019s departure was first reported by Politico. According to the report, he had planned to leave earlier but stayed on for several months to assist with the transition. Before joining Vance\u2019s office, Buckley worked for Jim Banks in 2019 as a deputy chief of staff.<\/div>\n
