Jack Schlossberg is saying he won’t hold back when it comes to his cousin, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., if he wins the upcoming election for a congressional seat in New York’s 12th District, RadarOnline.com reported.
Schlossberg, 33, who is running for office, said he plans to look into RFK Jr.’s actions while he was serving as U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services.
During a recent interview with MS Now, Schlossberg, who is the grandson of late President John F. Kennedy, questioned his cousin’s controversial remarks about nutrition and autism.
“All I’ve seen is a food pyramid that’s been flipped upside down and doesn’t really make any sense,” Schlossberg said.
“Telling us that junk food is bad for us, but not doing anything about the major public health problems our country is facing, which New York 12 is especially at risk for.”
He also said he would be interested in investigating any “criminal behavior” in the Health and Human Services Department if he is elected.
He added, “I want to know why he chose Tylenol and not Advil as a cause for autism?”
referring to RFK Jr.’s past claims that the over-the-counter pain reliever could be linked to the neurodevelopmental condition.
“I want to know who is paying for the words that come out of his mouth,” he said.
“Because, to me, it seems like everyone in this administration is making a lot of money when people, Americans, working families, are struggling.”
Why Is Jack Schlossberg Running for Congress?
Schlossberg announced his campaign for Jerry Nadler’s seat in November 2025, citing the ongoing “cost of living crisis” and “corruption” in the Donald Trump administration as his reasons for entering politics.
“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,” Schlossberg said in an Instagram post. “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,” he continued in the lengthy social media update. “
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.”
Past Criticism of RFK Jr.
Schlossberg hasn’t avoided criticizing his cousin in the past.
Last November, he called RFK Jr. a “rabid dog.”
Months later, he accused the Health Secretary of being a “propaganda aficionado” and suggested he was harming their family’s reputation.
“He’s been doing this kind of hijacking the Kennedy legacy and slapping it on top of Trump wherever Trump wants to put it in a way that is really emblematic of what Trump is doing across the board,” he said during a March interview with CBS Sunday Morning.
“Attacking not just my family, attacking anyone who’s had a hand in building this country, generations who came before us, the greatest generation, all built this country.”
