John F. Kennedy’s grandson calls cousin Robert Kennedy Jr. an ‘embarrassment,’ endorses Biden

The grandson of former President John F. Kennedy slammed Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s presidential aspirations in a social media rant endorsing his cousin’s Democratic opponent, Joe Biden.

According to Jack Schlossberg, 30, the incumbent reflects his late grandfather’s vision for America. He said if RFK Jr. shared those principles, he too would vote for the candidate he’s running against.

“Instead he’s trading in on Camelot, celebrity, conspiracy theories and conflict for personal gain and fame,” the Harvard and Yale University graduate said. “I’ve listened to him. I know him. I have no idea why anyone thinks he should be president.”

Kennedy, whose father was assassinated while running for president in 1968, announced his candidacy in April. The 69-year-old’s campaign has included visits to conspiratorial media outlets including “The Joe Rogan Experience,” Fox News and Twitter Spaces, but he’s struggled to find support among Democrats.

His COVID-19 conspiracy theories — which have been called faulty and sometimes antisemitic — have made him largely unpopular among progressives and drawn condemnation from family members aside from Schlossberg on more than one occasion. In 2019, Kennedy’s brother, sister and nice penned an article for Politico calling his opposition to vaccines “wrong.”

He was also condemned by relatives, including his nephew and former congressman Joe Kennedy III, for recently stating, “There is an argument that (the COVID pandemic) is ethnically targeted” to be less-effective against Ashkenazi Jews. (RFK Jr. insists his comments were taken out of context.)

Schlossberg said in his video that he’s concerned about his family legacy and worries Kennedy doesn’t represent what his grandfather helped build before being assassinated in Dallas in 1963.

“His candidacy is an embarrassment,” Schlossberg said.

The New York City native then appeared to take a swipe at former President Donald Trump, who is the front-runner for the Republican party’s 2024 nomination.

“Let’s not be distracted, again, by somebody’s vanity project,” Schlossberg urged voters. “I’m excited to vote for Joe Biden in my state’s primary and again in the general election and I hope you will too.”

Conspiracy theorists on Instagram took aim at Schlossberg, wondering if he was paid to trash his cousin, while supporters credited him for taking a stand against a family member.

Kennedy’s campaign has not returned a request for comment.
