Jack Schlossberg, grandson of the late President John F Kennedy and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, found himself at the centre of controversy on Monday after a series of peculiar tweets during President Donald Trump‘s inauguration ceremony.
The 32-year-old political correspondent took to X to post a question comparing Vice President JD Vance’s wife, Usha Vance, to his own grandmother, the iconic Jackie Kennedy.
“True or false: Usha Vance is way hotter than Jackie O?” Schlossberg asked his followers, drawing an immediate backlash.
One user playfully responded, suggesting that both women were “very foxy ladies.” Schlossberg replied, “Really appreciate this take thanks Sam,” but his follow-up tweet escalated the situation further.
“I called my grandmother hot … have I totally lost it? Jesus … this kid will do anything for attention. Your grandfather would be ashamed. Seriously. Time to get a job,” Schlossberg wrote, referring to himself in third person.
The tweets left many of Schlossberg’s followers concerned. “Gonna be honest man, I think most people don’t do hotness rankers involving their grandmas,” one user commented.
Another wrote, “It’s not too late to delete this,” while others scolded Schlossberg for the inappropriate remarks. “You consider your grandma a ‘hottie’?” one critic asked, while another accused him of being “desperate for engagement.”
Several users urged the Harvard graduate to “seek help” and reconsider his approach to public discourse.
