The meritocrats!

Let’s check in on the family of Tucker Carlson, notable critic of America’s “elites” [nudge nudge, wink wink, a nod’s as good as a wink to a blind bat]:
Tucker Carlson’s 24 year old kid has a higher salary doing comms than I made as the editor in chief of The New York Observer, managing several print and online pubs and a full time staff of around 35. Meritocracy at its finest! https://t.co/ViQGv0hLRG— Elizabeth Spiers (@espiers) October 24, 2022
A six figure sinecure with Jim Banks — he’s getting in on both the reactionary authoritarian and shameless connected grifting of the family business!
Tucker Carlson and his wife were looking to get their son a leg up in his college application to Georgetown University when they turned to a well-connected Washington friend who had an even better-connected father.
“I realize you don’t really know Buckley,” Susie Carlson wrote via email in 2014 to Hunter Biden, a Georgetown graduate and the son of the then-vice president. “Maybe you could meet or speak to him and he could send you a very brief resume with his interests and grades attached.”
Tucker Carlson offered that his son was a good squash player and an excellent fly fisherman. “He loves Washington for all the right reasons, I think,” Carlson added, “and really wants to go to school here.” When Biden agreed to write a letter of recommendation, Susie Carlson added a heap of praise: “Tucker and I have the greatest respect and admiration for you. Always!”
