A disturbing image surfaced recently – a screenshot allegedly from a now-deleted post showing Jack Schlossberg, grandson of President John F. Kennedy, performing a Nazi salute. The incident quickly ignited controversy and demands for explanation.
Beyond the immediate shock of the image, Schlossberg has been vocal about what he perceives as a deepening crisis within the nation. He paints a picture of unchecked power and financial gain, alleging the current President has amassed nearly a billion dollars this year while seemingly favoring certain individuals and industries.
Schlossberg frames this not as legitimate capitalism, but as blatant cronyism operating from the highest office. He argues this is compounded by a constitutional crisis, claiming a single individual has consolidated control over all three branches of government.
He asserts that fundamental civil rights are being eroded and dissenting voices are being silenced, creating an atmosphere of fear and suppression. This, he believes, is not an inevitable outcome, but a dangerous path chosen by those in power.
Driven by these concerns, Schlossberg announced his candidacy for Congress, aiming to represent New York’s 12th congressional district – the place he calls home. He speaks of a district brimming with potential, a vibrant hub of finance, media, and culture.
He envisions a representative who can effectively channel the district’s energy and innovation into tangible political influence in Washington. Schlossberg doesn’t present himself as possessing all the answers, but as a conduit for the concerns and aspirations of his constituents.
His campaign centers on listening to the struggles of everyday people, amplifying their voices, and fighting for their interests. He emphasizes the importance of personal connection, promising to engage directly with voters on the streets and at their doorsteps.
The campaign, he hopes, will be a constant dialogue, a chance to understand the needs of the community and translate them into action. He believes politics should be a deeply personal endeavor, rooted in genuine connection and shared purpose.
Adding another layer to the unfolding narrative, Schlossberg has also publicly and sharply criticized his cousin, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., currently serving as Health and Human Services Secretary. He labeled Kennedy Jr. a “dangerous person” and a “rabid dog.”
Schlossberg accused the current administration of exploiting the Kennedy name and brand, essentially “caging” his cousin and using him to spread misinformation. He questioned who was funding Kennedy Jr.’s activities and asserted his statements were detrimental to public health and safety.
He directly linked Kennedy Jr.’s rhetoric to the President, suggesting a deliberate strategy to sow discord and manipulate public opinion. Schlossberg firmly believes the current administration is the most corrupt in American history, and his cousin is a key component of that corruption.
