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, overshadowing his recent entry into the political arena.
Schlossberg launched his campaign for Congress in New York’s 12th district with a stark warning about the state of the nation. He described a system riddled with corruption, alleging the President has amassed nearly a billion dollars this year while seemingly favoring select individuals and businesses.
He painted a picture of a constitutional crisis, claiming a concentration of power in one individual’s hands, leading to the erosion of civil rights and the suppression of dissent. This, he argued, isn’t an inevitable fate, but a course correction within reach.
Schlossberg believes regaining control of the House of Representatives is the crucial first step. He asserts that with a Democratic majority in Congress, the nation could overcome current challenges, and without it, faces vulnerability to further overreach.
Born and raised in the 12th district, Schlossberg emphasized his deep connection to the community, recalling daily bus rides across its diverse landscape. He spoke with pride about the district’s vibrant culture, world-class institutions, and its position as a global hub for finance and media.
He doesn’t present himself as possessing all the answers, but rather as a conduit for the voices of his constituents. His campaign centers on listening to their concerns, amplifying their stories, and fighting for their interests in Washington.
Schlossberg envisions a deeply personal approach to politics, encouraging residents to engage with him directly, whether on the street or at their doorsteps. He believes in the power of face-to-face conversations and genuine connection.
Beyond his platform, Schlossberg has been vocal in his criticism of family member Robert F. Kennedy Jr., currently serving as Health and Human Services Secretary. He labeled his cousin a “dangerous person” and a “rabid dog” within the Trump administration.
Schlossberg accused the current President of being fixated on the Kennedy legacy, strategically utilizing RFK Jr. to disseminate misinformation and advance a questionable agenda. He questioned who was funding his cousin’s actions and their impact on public health and safety.
He directly challenged the narrative promoted by RFK Jr., asserting that his statements are not contributing to the well-being of the American people and urging citizens to critically examine the source of his pronouncements.
