In October 2022, Tucker was reportedly outraged after a secret GOP strategist called out Jim Banks (R-IN) for hiring Buckley as his communication director. The strategist said,
“Deep down, he dies to be liked by the Establishment. He hires Tucker Carlson’s son, a 24-year-old kid, to be his communications director.”

While entering the facility, a stranger stopped and asked one of Tucker’s daughters if she was sitting with Tucker. When she replied that he is my dad, the man apparently hurled insults at her and used foul language. After the incident unfolded, she got back to the table crying.
Upon witnessing his baby sister cry, Buckley stood up and went to the man and confronted him. Then physical altercation broke out between them and numerous leading news outlets claimed Tucker was apparently intoxicated and racist towards the Latino man.
Then in his defense, Tucker also claimed he stopped drinking alcohol several years ago.
