The Kennedy Legacy: A Tarnished Embarrassment

Jack Schlossberg, the grandson of President John F. Kennedy, criticized his cousin Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s presidential campaign, calling it "an embarrassment" and accusing him of trading on the Kennedy legacy for personal gain. Schlossberg, along with other members of the Kennedy family, condemned Kennedy Jr.'s spreading of conspiracy theories and his suggestion that the coronavirus was "ethnically targeted." Despite raising millions of dollars for his campaign, Kennedy Jr.'s standing in Democratic primary polls has dropped, with Joe Biden leading by a wide margin. The Biden campaign has taken a hands-off approach, believing that the more voters hear from Kennedy Jr., the less appealing he will become.
