JFK's grandson Jack Schlossberg accuses cousin, RFK Jr, of being a 'Russian spy'

Jack Schlossberg, the grandson of John F. Kennedy, has claimed his cousin who recently became intertwined with Donald Trump, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., is a “Russian spy”.

Schlossberg, a 31-year-old Democrat, has for months mocked Kennedy, a 70-year-old Democrat-turned-Independent, for his political involvement with Trump and insinuated Kennedy has ties to Moscow.

But on Wednesday, Schlossberg claimed Kennedy is “so obviously a Russian spy” in response to an Axios article that alleged Kennedy wants his daughter-in-law to be part of the CIA to uncover the truth behind JFK’s assassination.

“You all think I’m joking,” Schlossberg wrote in his post before adding four “ha”s.

Your children and your cousins' children are second cousins. It's a generational thing. You and your cousins share the same grandparents. But your children and your cousins' children share the same set of great grandparents. Jack and RFK III are second cousins.

Second cousins are all the children of that generation (two down from common grandparents).

She said, "we won't need polio vaccines anymore because we can prevent it with nutrition."

It's going to be a scary four years.

I had to delay them due to have a bunch of health stuff going on. I think polio is just once in a lifetime vaccination thankfully. The madness continues, people are so crazy here.

three times.
1. When it became available first time.
2. Sugar cube
3. Prior to visiting Indonesia and similar places. While getting a full nine weeks of shots for that part of the World, recommended to have polio vaccine, again. There are different strains of polio in different parts of the world!

I don’t remember which one we had now I have to ask my brother, hopefully he’ll remember. And then maybe we should get a booster with everything going on here if we had the three one. I thought we had the sugar cube, but I honestly don’t have a very good memory of it, I was very young. I remember getting small pox.

No chemo, no radiation, just drink smoothies. Hang up to your seats, it's going to be a bumpy ride.

Given her position as Ambassador to Australia she really can't say much publicly.

I don't think he's smart or cunning enough to be a real spy. One thing is for sure is that he will definitely off himself from his conspiracy theory stupidity.
