Of course, this comes amid a growing feud between President Trump and Tucker Carlson over the Iran war.

Mediaite provided more background on that:

His exit comes after his dad and President Donald Trump have been locked in an ongoing feud, with the elder Carlson criticizing the president for the Iran war.

Tucker Carlson reportedly met with Trump multiple times at the White House leading up to the launch of Operation Epic Fury and was one of the “few voices lobbying against military action” in Iran, according to The New York Times.

“He outlined the risks to U.S. military personnel, energy prices and Arab partners in the region if the United States went to war with Iran,” The Times reported on March 2. “He told the president that he should not be boxed in by Israel, arguing that its desire to attack Iran was the only reason the United States was even considering a strike. He encouraged Mr. Trump to restrain [Benjamin] Netanyahu.”

His pitch clearly didn’t dissuade the president, and Carlson has ripped the operation since then, claiming it is being “waged” strictly on behalf of Israel.

Carlson also called the joint U.S. and Israeli strikes that killed Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei “absolutely disgusting and evil.”

Trump has punched back at Carlson a few times over the last month. He called Carlson “low IQ” earlier in April and followed that up by saying Carlson and other commentators like Megyn Kelly were “NUT JOBS.” He kept it up last week, calling Carlson a “LOSER.”

However, it’s unclear if his dad’s rift with Trump influenced Buckley’s decision.

It’s being reported that Buckley Carlson first notified the White House that he would be leaving in December, long before the start of the Iran war.

More from Politico:

Buckley Carlson has departed the White House, where he served as VP JD Vance’s deputy press secretary, to start his own political consulting firm, according to two sources familiar with the plan, Playbook’s Adam Wren scoops. “Buckley first informed the VP’s office of his intention to depart in December, but stayed on for several months to ensure a smooth transition,” a Vance official told Playbook.
