Jack Schlossberg slammed for mocking cousin RFK Jr’s voice disorder: 'Should be ashamed of yourself'

BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS: Jack Schlossberg — grandson of John F Kennedy and social media darling of the Democrats — has landed himself in hot water.

Known for his quirky and often biting Instagram posts, Schlossberg’s latest attempt at humor has everyone talking - and not in a good way. This time he took aim at his cousin Robert F Kennedy Jr and things got messy fast.

Jack Schlossberg slammed for mocking RFK Jr’s speech disorder

In a now-infamous Instagram video, Schlossberg mocked RFK Jr’s spasmodic dysphonia — a condition that causes involuntary spasms in the voice box muscles.

Using a shaky voice to imitate his cousin, Schlossberg said: “Hey everybody, I’m trying to figure out the right present to get Donald Trump for the inauguration,” he quipped, tagging Kennedy. “I found a really rare animal and killed it, and I’m gonna give it to him,” he added, holding up an octopus plushie, the Daily Beast reported.

To say the backlash was swift would be an understatement. Comments on the post came flooding in, and many were quick to call out Schlossberg for making fun of a family member’s medical condition.

“Imagine being so salty about RFK Jr. that you crawl out of your irrelevant corner of the family to embarrass yourself online,” one of the top comments read. “Seven million of us stand with him-meanwhile, you’re out here proving why no one takes you seriously. Go cry somewhere else, freak.”

“Disgusting behavior. If this is how you treat family, imagine people outside of that circle,” another wrote.

"How tolerant and compassionate. It's always interesting to watch true colors show themselves," a third added.

"I don’t understand why people are celebrating someone mocking another persons injury? How is this ok?" read a comment.

"This ain’t it. Hopefully you don’t come down with some terrible disorder that makes your voice or something else not work the way that you want it to. If a Republican did this, we would all jump all over them for making fun of somebody with a disorder," someonen else added.

"THIS IS DISGUSTING!!! you are a part of the toxic cycle dividing and destroying our country …you should be ashamed of yourself," another fumed.

RFK Jr, who’s been open about his voice disorder, once described it as a neurological condition that makes him sound “terrible.” Speaking with the Los Angeles Times, he admitted: “My voice doesn’t really get tired. It just sounds terrible. But the injury is neurological, so actually, the more I use the voice, the stronger it tends to get.”

Despite the challenges, RFK Jr has continued to speak publicly — often addressing controversial topics like vaccine skepticism. He even suggested (albeit without evidence) that the flu vaccine could be a “potential culprit” for his condition.

Jack Schlossberg has a history of mocking RFK Jr

This isn’t the first time Schlossberg has taken aim at his cousin. In a series of Instagram videos last year, he called RFK Jr a “prick” and accused him of sabotaging democracy by running as an independent third-party candidate.

Schlossberg even impersonated a stereotypical Massachusetts man to roast Kennedy.

“A lot of people, a lot of people talking about Robert F Kennedy Jr, Robert F Kennedy Jr,” he began in the clip. “You know, I’m a fan of his father. And you know his uncle? Rest in peace. I remember where I was the day he was killed; I mean, it was a tragic day, the entire country wept. But listen, that guy, he’s a prick. The new guy, the young guy, he’s a friggin’ prick.”

In the same video series, Schlossberg went after RFK Jr for his ties to Trump — calling him an independent candidate who “goes way freakin’ back” with the former president.

Schlossberg used the opportunity to highlight Biden’s alleged achievements and urged followers to “vote for democracy.”

“There is only one person to vote for, you understand?” he said as he threw his weight behind Kamala Harris, who eventually lost to Trump.
