Kennedy Scion Jack Schlossberg Scolds Megyn Kelly: 'Stop Attacking Trans People!'

Online influencer and occasional thirst trap king Jack Schlossberg – the grandson of U.S. president John F. Kennedy – took to social media to chide Megyn Kelly for lashing out at him and his mother, Caroline, after the latter posted a video in which she purported to spill some unflattering tea about anti-vaccine activist and Health and Human Services Secretary nominee Robert F. Kennedy.

As UK newspaper the Daily Mail put it, Caroline Kennedy "delivered a damning indictment of her cousin Robert F. Kennedy Jr."

In a video, Kennedy read the content of a letter she had written to a group of senators on the committee to confirm RFK Jr.'s nomination, declaring that her cousin "is unqualified to fill" the role, and called his "views on vaccines are dangerous and willfully misinformed."

Kennedy's letter went on to add: "It's no surprise that he keeps birds of prey as pets because he himself is a predator.... I watched his younger brothers and cousins follow him down the path to addiction."

Caroline Kennedy's post seemingly provoked the outburst in which Kelly declared Caroline Kennedy and Schlossberg to be "disgusting" people.

"I don't know which one was worse," Kelly declared, the Mail relayed.

Schlossberg bit back with a video posted to social media in which he greeted Kelly by saying he wanted to "check in" and "start a dialogue" before getting in a few digs.

"The two genders rule must be tough," Schlossberg said, evidently in reference to a Donald Trump executive order that purported to confine gender to two narrow silos. "None of us know which one you are," Schossberg went on to say, "so let us know."

JFK's grandson went on to ask Kelly to "stop attacking trans people. You do it for a living, professionally, on your show. I don't really get that. I don't get what makes that so fun for you. The trans people I know? Just people, okay? Not great people, but you don't need to be great to be treated with respect."

Schlossberg ended his video with, "Do not ever attack me."

He captioned the post with: "Manly lady ? Or ladies man ? @megynkelly" and added: "She attacks trans people and talks about masculinity for a living. But why ?"

"Ahhhh... it's deep... repression... be well !!"

The Daily Mail's reportage on the sniping back and forth seemed to take Kelly's side, dismissing Schlossberg as "unhinged" and accusing him of a "low brow insult" with the "two genders" wisecrack.

Schlossberg proved unwilling to accept that, either, posting a video in which he called out the Mail, saying the newspaper had "edited" his video in a way that excised "the only funny part and the reason I made it."

"You can post about me – love you guys – but you can't cut out my joke, okay?"

Schlossberg laid out his rationale for the Megyn Kelly video.

"Public humiliation is the only way that we can fight back," Schlossberg declared, before expanding on that by saying that "humiliat[ing]" and "mak[ing] fun" of right-wing figures is "the only thing they respond to."

"Don't bother arguing them on the facts," Schlossberg added with a wave of his hand. "They don't care."

"Don't take it seriously," Schlossberg advised, "because they don't."

Schlossberg has been known to ignite online thirst with his shirtless athletic selfies. Check out some of the pictures he's posted to his Instagram:
