Footage of JFK’s Grandson Performing a Nazi Solute Surfaces Days After He Launches Bid for Congress
Jack Schlossberg, the grandson of former President John F. Kennedy, recently faced controversy after a now-deleted Instagram video surfaced showing him performing a Nazi salute. This video, posted in January, appeared to be a satirical jab at Elon Musk, who was accused by some Democrats of making a similar gesture during former President donald Trump’s inauguration events. Schlossberg,whose father is Jewish,is currently running as a Democratic candidate for New York’s 12th Congressional District,aiming to succeed retiring Rep. Jerry Nadler.
additionally,Schlossberg has made other provocative social media posts,including a deleted message referencing “Jew Blood” and other offensive content,seemingly targeting his relative robert F. Kennedy Jr. Despite the controversies, Schlossberg has previously supported political figures such as Joe Biden and Kamala Harris as a campaign surrogate. His campaign has not yet responded to inquiries regarding these incidents.
Jack Schlossberg, the only grandson of former President John F. Kennedy, performed a Nazi salute in a since-deleted January Instagram video, the Washington Free Beacon reported Thursday.
Schlossberg, the son of Caroline Kennedy and Edwin Schlossberg, announced his candidacy for New York’s 12th Congressional District Tuesday.
He is seeking retiring Democratic New York Rep. Jerry Nadler’s House seat.
His January video was likely an effort to ridicule Elon Musk, whom Democrats accused of performing a Nazi salute during President Donald Trump’s inaugural parade at the Capitol One Arena in Washington, D.C., the same month, the Beacon reported.
WATCH:
“Yo, check this out,” Schlossberg said while he repeatedly did the salute.
Musk has repeatedly disputed that he was performing a Nazi salute as he extended his arm and told the audience that his “heart goes out to [them].”
He has also been a staunch defender of the Jewish people.
Schlossberg’s father is Jewish, according to the Beacon.
The outlet also reported Wednesday that he wrote a now-deleted Jan. 20 post about making “Jew Blood” and semen for a “MAHA [Make America Healthy Again] energy ball,” apparently a swipe at his relative, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
“I’ll have a MAHA energy ball,” he wrote above a recipe including “2 oz of Jew blood (ashkenazi not Sephardic).”
Kennedy said in 2023 that COVID-19 may not be as dangerous for Ashkenazi Jews. Schlossberg has made headlines for publicly criticizing him in recent years.
Schlossberg has become well-known for his controversial social media posts, such as satirical political content and shirtless videos of himself.

He previously served as a campaign surrogate for both former President Joe Biden and former Vice President Kamala Harris.
Schlossberg’s campaign did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.
