A leading national conservative news outlet is literally celebrating Tuesday’s New York City congressional primary defeat of Democrat Jack Schlossberg.
“Against all odds, Manhattan voters made the right call on Tuesday: They handily rejected Kennedy scion Jack Schlossberg, the 33-year-old influencer with four trust funds and no actual employment history, in New York’s 12th Congressional District,” writes the outlet’s Andrew Stiles.
Schlossberg, son of Caroline Kennedy, lost to New York state Assembly Member Micah Lasher, in a closely-watched and crowded Democratic primary for an open congressional seat in the heart of Manhattan, Associated Press reported.
During the campaign, Schlossberg claimed he was popular not due to his being a Kennedy but “because of my experience, my ideas.”
But he also faced questions about his limited professional resume and his seriousness as a candidate, AP says.
Schlossberg, who holds a joint law and business degree, worked briefly at the State Department’s environmental bureau and has written political opinion pieces for Vogue. He said that family money bought him independence from political fundraising.
Stiles laughs off Schlossberg’s claims on their face.
“The Kennedy family is a toxic cabal of bloated, boat-shoed sex pests and trust-fund layabouts still living off the fortune amassed by Joseph P. Kennedy, the wealthy patriarch best known for his efforts to make peace with Adolf Hitler,” Stiles says.
“John F. Kennedy, Schlossberg’s grandfather, was the Eric Swalwell of the White House, while his great uncle Ted Kennedy was the Eric Swalwell of the U.S. Senate, a reputation he cemented in 1985 by making a ‘waitress sandwich’ with Chris Dodd at a local fine-dining establishment,” Stiles said.
Days before the election, Schlossberg told the Wall Street Journal he would view his loss in the primary as proof that our political system is irrevocably broken.
“If I can’t do it, then nobody can,” he said.
“Indeed,” Stiles writes, “if a 33-year-old Kennedy brat with four trust funds and what the New York Times described as ‘little traditional work experience’ can lose a primary in one of the country’s wealthiest congressional district despite being endorsed by David Letterman and spending $1 million of his own inheritance, the American Dream is truly dead.”
Try high treason.
According to the Soviet KGB archives, Ted Kennedy attempted to make a deal with a Soviet back before the 1984 election where he would get them favorable press coverage and I believe NBC if they would support him in his presidential run against Reagan. The Soviets thought it was a trap. They couldn’t believe he really would do that, nor do I, but he did.
It’s the same thing with the Bush guy who was running for governor, we do not need royal families in this country. I’m not happy with the communist who won, but we don’t need another Kennedy.
When your argument depends on comparing JFK to Swalwell, you’ve already admitted you’re writing for applause, not accuracy.

Sounds like you struck a nerve there Ted !
The Kennedys are the biggest bunch of degenerates that there are. All the men cheated on their wives, Jackie cheated on JFK all the time, they both did drugs, many of the cousins died from overdoses, Ted did Chappaquiddick, the list goes on. Try reading Kennedy Babylon by Howie Carr(books one and two) and you know more than you ever cared to know of America’s first crime family.
Soy boy.
AGREED !
