Jack Schlossberg launches hours-long X rant during RFK Jr.’s confirmation hearing
Trump’s Health and Human Services nominee is his cousin.

Ali Bianco 01/29/2025, 12:53pm ET

We’re hours into Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s hearing now, and there’s one person who is ALL over it online: Jack Schlossberg.

Schlossberg, the chronically online sensation and the only grandson of former president John F. Kennedy, has some choice words on his cousin’s Senate hearing, sharing MSNBC videos and adding his own commentary.

Schlossberg and Kennedy have butted heads on politics before. (Schlossberg is notably more liberal-leaning than the would-be secretary of Health and Human Services.)

In all caps, Schlossberg is responding in real time to Kennedy’s views on abortion and chronic diseases, and is calling out Kennedy for being a “liar” and a “guru shaman figure” who runs a cult.

“LIFE AND DEATH DECISIONS by someone who cannot tell the truth,” Schlossberg wrote on X.
