BREAKING: Jack Schlossberg, the grandson of President John F. Kennedy, has issued a bold defense of his recent controversial social media posts, claiming they are a reflection of his family’s political legacy. In an exclusive interview with The Post, Schlossberg emphasized that his online behavior, including provocative comments aimed at Second Lady Usha Vance, is part of a larger narrative surrounding his family’s political battles.
Schlossberg, who is campaigning to replace retiring House Representative Jerry Nadler, stated that his posts serve as a “mirror” to the cultural and political attacks that his family has faced for generations. “There’s a reason behind all of them,” he insisted, aiming to clarify the intent behind his provocative remarks.
Among his more bizarre posts, Schlossberg jokingly claimed he was “having a son” with JD Vance’s wife and questioned whether Usha Vance was more attractive than his own grandmother, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. These antics have raised eyebrows, but he believes they garner attention and provoke thought among voters.
“My sister Tatiana Schlossberg is sick, and when I shaved my head in solidarity with her, people called me crazy. Now they understand,” he explained, referring to his sister’s heartbreaking battle with terminal cancer. He believes that such personal elements add depth to his campaign and resonate with voters.
Schlossberg has also taken aim at family member Robert F. Kennedy Jr., calling him a “rabid dog” and mocking his voice, which he acknowledges could fuel family discord. Despite the backlash, he maintains that his willingness to tackle controversial figures, including those aligned with former President Trump, is vital for his party’s progress.
“Voters respect me for taking risks and moving the ball forward on behalf of the party,” he asserted. While acknowledging that some may find his posts confusing, he remains confident that they convey a significant message.
As he gears up for his congressional campaign, Schlossberg has slightly toned down his rhetoric for his nearly 2 million social media followers. “I think people are smarter than they give themselves credit for,” he added. “Some might be confused, but others hear the message loud and clear.”
This ongoing saga highlights the intersection of personal and political narratives in the world of social media, especially for those in prominent families. As Schlossberg navigates his unique path in politics, the public will be watching closely to see how his unconventional approach shapes his campaign and influences perceptions of the Kennedy legacy.
Stay tuned for further developments as Schlossberg’s campaign unfolds.
