President Donald J. Trump refused to disavow Tucker Carlson on Sunday after he was asked about Carlson’s controversial interview with podcaster Nick Fuentes.
“I’ve found him to be good. He’s said good things about me over the years. I think he’s good. We’ve had some good interviews. I did an interview with him and we were at 300 million hits… We’ve had some great interviews with Tucker Carlson. But you can’t tell him who to interview. If he wants to interview Nick Fuentes, I don’t know much about him, but if he wants to do it, get the word out. People have to decide. Ultimately, people have to decide,” President Trump said.

Recently, there has been a frenzied push to cancel Tucker Carlson by neoconservative elements on the Right, many of whom like Ben Shapiro and Mark Levin were vehemently anti-Trump in the past.
This has gotten so absurd that they are targeting Tucker Carlson’s son, Buckley, who works in an advisory role to Vice President J.D. Vance. The conservative cancel mob is demanding that Buckley Carlson answer for the sins of his father. This prompted J.D. Vance to forcefully address the situation in an X post.
Sloan Rachmuth is a "journalist" who has decided to obsessively attack a staffer in his 20s because she doesn't like the views of his father.

Every time I see a public attack on Buckley it's a complete lie. And yes, I notice ever person with an agenda who unfairly attacks a… https://t.co/bjFVuM2yBI
I have an extraordinary tolerance for disagreements and criticisms from the various people in our coalition. But I am a very loyal person, and I have zero tolerance for scumbags attacking my staff. And yes, *everyone* who I've seen attack Buckley with lies is a scumbag.

With these responses from Trump and Vance, it is clear that the administration does not support the renewed cancel culture push against Tucker Carlson and others who are unabashedly America First. The days of conservative gatekeeping are over, and they are never coming back.
