Jack Schlossberg, the grandson of John F. Kennedy, has garnered attention for his controversial social media posts, including some directed at Second Lady Usha Vance that many found unsettling.
In a peculiar twist, Schlossberg, who recently announced his run for the House of Representatives in New York’s 12th District, joked about having a child with Vance and expressed his “love” for her, even making a dubious comparison of her attractiveness to that of his grandmother, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.
The 32-year-old, previously with Vogue as a political correspondent, has a significant following of over 1.7 million on various platforms like X, Instagram, and TikTok. His social media history includes a variety of odd and inappropriate rants, such as mocking his cousin RFK Jr. and making jokes that involved a disturbing reference.
Some of his most odd, off-putting comments have contributed to his infamy.
Schlossberg’s Unusual Interest in Usha Vance
This past January, Schlossberg stirred up controversy by questioning whether Usha Vance had more “sex appeal” than Jackie O, his late grandmother.
“True or false: Usha Vance is way hotter than Jackie O,” he tweeted during the inauguration of President Trump, a post that many found inappropriate.
The reaction was mixed, with some users feeling uncomfortable about the comparisons. One user expressed, “Honestly, I don’t think most people rank their grandmas in terms of attractiveness.”
Schlossberg even admitted to being a “literal pervert” in a follow-up post, reflecting on his need for attention.
His affection for Vance was further underscored in a letter where he called her “the most beautiful woman in the world” and even serenaded her with a song.
In April, he posted another peculiar tweet claiming he “had a son” with Vance, an apparent joke.
“My son was born!! I’m so excited! I can’t wait for the next one because today was the best day of my life,” he tweeted, adding humorously that it was out of wedlock but marriage might be in the cards.
Allegations Against Alan Dershowitz
In February, Schlossberg made headlines again by accusing celebrity attorney Alan Dershowitz of murdering his wife, a claim that prompted threats of defamation suits from Dershowitz.
He claimed on social media, “Everyone knows that I murdered my wife” and threw out allusions to a serious matter, further stating that he felt insulted by Dershowitz.
Dershowitz responded by saying that Schlossberg had caused more damage to the Kennedy name than anyone else in the family.
Questionable Childhood Photo
In another incident in April, Schlossberg shared a nude photo of himself as a toddler—an act that quickly drew backlash as he feuded with Vogue’s former editor.
After initially posting it with a lighthearted caption, he deleted it amid public concern about its appropriateness.
Offensive Jokes and Remarks
Schlossberg did not shy away from making harsh jokes, including mocking his cousin RFK Jr.’s speech difficulties, which he jokingly imitated.
He referred to RFK Jr. as a “mad dog” in a recent interview, suggesting that he was spreading misinformation as Secretary of Health and Human Services.
His understanding of public health has been scrutinized, as Schlossberg argued that RFK Jr. has cut vital positions in his agency.
Controversial Recipe Posts
In a particularly egregious post that was later removed, Schlossberg created a crude recipe for “MAHA Energy Balls,” with a shocking ingredient list. This referenced his cousin’s dubious claims regarding the pandemic.
These outlandish statements have caused significant uproar, with calls for Schlossberg to reconsider his approach to humor and public discourse.
