It’s being reported that Buckley Carlson, son of Tucker Carlson, will serve as Vice President JD Vance’s deputy press secretary.
He doesn’t come without experience though.
Carlson’s a seasoned Capitol Hill aide.
He started as a staff assistant in 2019, recently served as deputy chief of staff for Rep. Jim Banks.
His appointment comes as Vance fills senior roles in his administration.
But the media is freaking out about this and writing headlines about “nepotism!” which is so hypocritical.
To those that don’t know, nepotism is “the practice among those with power or influence of favoring relatives, friends, or associates, especially by giving them jobs.”
I’ll explain how this is at the heart of the media further down.

ABC News reports:
Buckley Carlson, a former Capitol Hill aide and the son of conservative media personality Tucker Carlson, is set to join Vice President JD Vance’s press office, sources tell ABC News.
The younger Carlson is set to serve as Vance’s deputy press secretary, sources said.
Buckley Carlson has worked as an aide on Capitol Hill since 2019, including most recently serving as deputy chief of staff to Republican Rep. Jim Banks.
He first joined Banks’ office in 2019 as a staff assistant before becoming communications director in 2021.
Earlier this month, Vance tapped several former employees to join his vice presidential staff in senior staff roles, including Jacob Reses, who is continuing to serve as his chief of staff.

When it comes to nepotism, the Left excels at that.
Especially the media.
Which is probably why they’re so quick to pull that word out that most people rarely use or think of.
Hollywood and the media run by ‘nepo babies’, those that have been the recipients of nepotism.
Let’s have a quick look…
Oh, please.
The nepotism is real- especially with Disney/Hulu. 🙄

O’Keefe Media Group caught on tape that Disney, run by jewish Bob Iger, will only mainly hire Jews for their C-Suite leadership positions.
Nepotism much?
Funny how some people think that saying Hollywood is run by jews is antisemitic.
Even James O’Keefe said that in his report.
But they freely admit it themselves…
Wonder why the media never talks about that nepotism?
It's not nepotism. It's Hollywood tapping the unique creative pipeline of having a complicated relationship with one's parent. pic.twitter.com/hZZv7YLQU3

Zooey Deschanel is another obvious example.
