Jack Schlossberg, the grandson of President John F. Kennedy, has recently been making headlines for his unusual behavior on social media. In a series of Instagram videos, Schlossberg has been mocking his cousin, independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., in a variety of characters and accents. One source familiar with JFK Jr. believes he would have been embarrassed by his nephew’s antics and is disappointed by the lack of a close relationship that could have existed between them.
The videos posted by Schlossberg include claims that RFK Jr. is using steroids, lying, and being influenced by Russia. Additionally, Schlossberg has performed shirtless while singing the Beatles’ “Ticket To Ride” and has portrayed a New York Jewish man named Joshua who is concerned about the Federal Reserve under RFK Jr.’s potential presidency. Those close to the Kennedy family are confused by Schlossberg’s behavior, indicating that no one understands his intentions and questioning where he is headed with these actions.
Despite the family turmoil caused by Schlossberg’s antics, Rory Kennedy, a sister of RFK Jr., has not made a clear statement on whether she supports or condemns his behavior. She has instead focused on the importance of the upcoming election and criticized President Trump’s candidacy. Schlossberg, who is 31 years old and holds degrees from Yale and Harvard Law School, does not appear to have a full-time job at the moment, as he recently passed the bar exam in New York. His mother, Caroline Kennedy, is the US ambassador to Australia, and Schlossberg has been involved in the family’s political and philanthropic activities in the past.
Having worked as a Senate page and intern, as well as for former Secretary of State John Kerry, Schlossberg has been praised for his humor and public speaking abilities. Kerry, in particular, has acknowledged Schlossberg’s use of humor within the Kennedy family. Despite his involvement in various political events and causes, Schlossberg’s recent social media activities have raised eyebrows among his family and the public. The lack of clarification from Caroline Kennedy and other family members on their stance regarding Schlossberg’s behavior suggests that there may be some tensions within the Kennedy family regarding his actions.
Overall, Jack Schlossberg’s recent actions on social media mocking his cousin RFK Jr. have led to confusion and concern among his family and the public. Despite his previous involvement in political events and causes, his behavior in the videos has drawn criticism from those close to the Kennedy family. The lack of a clear statement from Rory Kennedy and others in the family regarding their support for or opposition to Schlossberg’s behavior suggests that there may be underlying tension within the family regarding his recent actions. It remains to be seen how Schlossberg will address the backlash and criticism he has received for his social media antics.
