Pelosi’s Endorsement Couldn’t Save JFK Grandson Jack Schlossberg in NY Primary Fight
“Schlossberg’s defeat is worth celebrating for several reasons.”
The election results in New York this week were horrible, but if there’s one silver lining, it’s that another nepo-baby has learned that his family name can’t carry him over the finish line.
Jack Schlossberg, the grandson of John F. Kennedy, finished in a distant third place in the primary race for New York’s District 12.
He was even endorsed by Nancy Pelosi.

America Dodges Bullet: Congress To Remain Kennedy-Free After Jack Schlossberg Fails in New York
Against all odds, Manhattan voters made the right call on Tuesday.
Jack Schlossberg, the 33-year-old Kennedy scion who has never worked a real job, was handily defeated in the Democratic primary for New York’s 12th Congressional District, sitting in third place with less than 11 percent of the vote. George Conway, the mentally disturbed Lincoln Project cofounder and frequent guest on The Jim Acosta Show, sat in fifth, trailing not just Schlossberg but also a woman named Nina Schwalbe.
Schlossberg’s defeat is worth celebrating for several reasons.
The Kennedy family is a toxic cabal of bloated, boat-shoed sex pests and trust-fund layabouts still living off the fortune amassed by Joseph P. Kennedy, the wealthy patriarch best known for his efforts to make peace with Adolf Hitler. Tuesday’s outcome suggests the family’s once-mythic reputation is in the midst of a long-overdue correction.
John F. Kennedy, Schlossberg’s grandfather, was the Eric Swalwell of the White House, while his great uncle Ted Kennedy was the Eric Swalwell of the U.S. Senate, a reputation he cemented in 1985 by making a “waitress sandwich” with Chris Dodd at a local fine-dining establishment…
Days before the election, Schlossberg told the Wall Street Journal he would view his loss in the primary as proof that our political system is irrevocably broken. “If I can’t do it, then nobody can,” he said.
Indeed, if a 33-year-old Kennedy brat with four trust funds and what the New York Times described as “little traditional work experience” can lose a primary in one of the country’s wealthiest congressional districts despite being endorsed by David Letterman and spending $1 million of his own inheritance, the American Dream is truly dead.
Schlossberg seemed pretty optimistic about his chances during an appearance on MSNOW the day before the election.
More on his loss from The Hill:
Schlossberg, 33, made a name for himself in the race as a social media savvy Millennial with strong name recognition. He holds a joint law and business degree and worked as a political journalist for Vogue Magazine.
Schlossberg addressed a watch party early Tuesday night to thank campaign workers and call for Democrats to back more responsive and inspiring candidates who “are willing to speak plainly about the cost of living, about corruption and fearlessly about the Constitution,” The Associated Press reported.
“We don’t just need younger candidates. We need different people,” Schlossberg said, adding, “unless Democrats learn from the signals that are being sent all across the country, we are going to keep on losing.”

Pelosi is part of the Soviet Central Committee faction of the Party, which is being replaced by the Khmer Rouge faction. No wonder Schlossberg lost (along with Dan Goldberg)!
Armani suits — OUT.
Che T=shirts -= IN.
Guess he wasn’t commie enough. Better luck next time after the re-education camp.
I suspect he may have done better with an obvious Nazi tattoo, painted finger nails and a few more pronouns.
One fewer crackpot.
NMKE – No More Kennedys Ever!
vogue job – get a real job you half wit!
“We need different people,” – You’re not different you clown.
To be fair, Joseph Kennedy wasn’t advocating for peace with Hitler.
Rather, he was a vocal and zealous advocate for having the US enter the war as an ally of the Axis powers.
Contrary to the nonsense taught in schools today, the primary reason why the US remained neutral until Pearl Harbor was because leading D’s saw Hitler as a “fellow traveler”. They had admired and supported his brand of socialism in a huge way for nearly two decades prior to the war.
“…it’s that another nepo-baby…”
Can you really call someone a nepo baby if they’ve never actually had a job?
Yes, Mike can call this young man a nepo-baby for a few reasons—first, he has editorial discretion. Although Schlossberg has never worked, he’s living a life where he’s been given certain privileges like housing, education, and a luxury lifestyle because of his family name and connections. In other words, the grandchildren of well-known Democrats like Kennedy and Madeleine Albright are taught that you get what you want by knowing the right people and by the power of a famous (and liberal-identifying) surname.
