Jack Schlossberg tapped for America 250 Commission by Schumer
US Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer tapped Kennedy heir Jack Schlossberg – known for his attention-seeking social media tirades — to sit on the committee prepping America’s 250th birthday bash Tuesday.
Schlossberg will get one of the seats slotted for private citizens on the America 250 Commission as Schumer, a Brooklyn Democrat, claimed “there’s no better person” to go toe-to-toe with President Trump and his supporters on the panel.
“Why am I putting Jack there? We know that Donald Trump will try to aggrandize the whole thing and make it part of him and his ego,” the New York senator claimed in a social media video next to the 32-year-old political scion. “There’s no better person to push back on that than you, Jack.”
“And I know you will be there to make sure when we celebrate our 250th birthday we remember that America’s a nation of justice, equal justice, of unity, E Pluribus Unum, of treating everyone with dignity.”
The commission is supposed to be non-partisan and comprised of members appointed by House and Senate leadership from both political parties.
Trump administration cabinet leaders including US Attorney General Pam Bondi, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Secretary of State Marco Rubio are all part of the commission.
Four US Reps and four US senators are also among the group.
Schlossberg, the son of former diplomat Caroline Kennedy, shook Schumer’s hands and thanked him for the appointment.
“I wanna make sure we celebrate our country for all of its colors, there’s no more important task than celebrating our history for the same of our future,” he said.
A Schumer spokesperson confirmed the senator used his private citizen selection on Schlossberg.
The sole grandson of JFK has grabbed attention over the past year for myriad bizarre and vulgar statements.
He’s questioned if Vice President JD Vance’s wife, Usha Vance, is “hotter” than his late grandmother Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and mocking his own cousin, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and his wife, actress Cheryl Hines.
“I have never met Cheryl Hines but if I did I’d tell her she looks super dehydrated,” he said on X late last month.
Following his plush appointment, he took a shot at conservative CNN commentator Scott Jennings.
“Scott Jennings rumor I heard – not sure if true – drinks own pee,” he said Wednesday morning.
