Jack Schlossberg, the only grandson of former President John F. Kennedy and a Democrat candidate for Congress in New York’s 12th Congressional District, has become the subject of controversy following the emergence of a now-deleted video in which he performs a Nazi salute.
The footage, originally posted to Schlossberg’s Instagram in January and hastily deleted after going viral, shows the 32-year-old Kennedy scion gleefully mimicking Adolf Hitler’s infamous gesture while mugging for the camera.
“Yo, yo, check this out,” Schlossberg said repeatedly into the camera as he raised his arm in the salute several times.

This incident has surfaced as the unhinged Trump-hating Democrat officially announced his candidacy for the seat being vacated by Representative Jerrold Nadler.
The New York 12th District includes the Upper West Side, the Upper East Side, and Midtown Manhattan. The district’s per capita income is the highest among all districts in the US.
He wrote on Instagram:
“250 years after America was founded, and our country is at a turning point.
It’s a crisis at every level.
A cost of living crisis sponsored by the Big Beautiful Bill. Historic cuts to social programs working families rely on. Health care, education, child care.
It’s a corruption crisis. The President has made almost a billion dollars this year. He’s picking winners and losers from inside the Oval Office. It’s cronyism, not capitalism.
It’s a constitutional crisis with one dangerous man in control of all three branches of government. He’s stripping citizens of their civil rights and silencing his critics.
The worst part is: it doesn’t have to be this way. And it wasn’t, always.
We deserve better, and we can do better, and it starts with the Democratic Party winning back control of the House of Representatives.
With control of Congress, there’s nothing we can’t do. Without it, we’re helpless to a third term.
My name is Jack Schlossberg, and I’m running for Congress to represent my home, New York’s 12th congressional district, where I was born and raised, where I took the bus to school every single day from one side of the district to the other.
This is the best part of the greatest city on Earth. We have the best hospitals and schools, restaurants and museums. This is the financial and media capital of the world.
This district should have a representative who can harness the creativity, energy and drive of this district and translate that into political power in Washington.
I’m not running because I have all the answers to our problems. I’m running because the people of New York 12 do. I want to listen to your struggles, hear your stories, amplify your voice, go to Washington and execute on your behalf.
There is nowhere I’d rather be than in the arena fighting for my hometown. Over the next eight months, during the course of this campaign, I hope to meet as many of you as I can. If you see me on the street, please say hello. If I knock on your door, I hope we can have a conversation. Because politics should be personal.
Thanks more to come soon, and I’ll see you on the trail New York 12.”
JFK’s only grandson was also in another controversy for being critical of his cousin, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., calling him a “dangerous person” and a “rabid dog.”
“[Trump] is so obsessed with the Kennedys, and the Kennedy name and the Kennedy brand, that he caged one and put it in his cabinet, a rabid dog in his cabinet,” Schlossberg said in an interview. “Put a collar on my cousin, RFK Jr., and has him there barking, spreading lies and spreading misinformation.”
“I don’t think it takes a genius to know that the Trump administration is the most corrupt in American history. And I don’t know who’s paying [RFK Jr.], but I know that what he’s saying isn’t making anybody healthier or safer, and that the American people should know, when he barks, who’s actually talking.”
