John F. Kennedy’s only living grandson, Jack Schlossberg, took a dig at Vice President JD Vance on social media Tuesday.
The vice president initially wrote a post on X early Tuesday endorsing his half-brother, Cory Bowman, in Tuesday’s primary election for mayor of Cincinnati, describing him as a “good guy with a heart for serving his community.”
He and Vance share the same father.
Schlossberg then replied to Vance’s post and quipped: “‘He’s a good guy.’ Emotional and heartfelt endorsement of your own brother.”

Hours later, it was projected that Bowman, a Republican coffee shop owner and pastor, would advance to the general election to face current Democratic Mayor Aftab Pureval.

The incumbent bested Bowman in the open primary by a margin of 82 percent to 12 percent, with Republican Brian Frank coming in at a distant third with 4 percent of the vote, according to The New York Times.

This is not the first time Schlossberg has poked fun at Vance and his family.

Schlossberg is widely known for being outspoken on social media, and has taken jabs at Vance and his wife, Usha, in the past.
Last month, the former Vogue political correspondent joked that he and Usha were having a baby and wrote on X: “I’m having a son !! So excited about this. Cannot wait for the birth of my next child because today was the best day of my life. Out of wedlock, yes. But we might get married.” Schlossberg then posted an edited photo of Usha holding a baby with his face cropped over on Instagram, and quipped: “Little jason and his mom — You never feel like you’re ready to be a parent. Until one day, you become one.”
When Pope Francis died in late April, Schlossberg mocked Vance again and blamed him for the pontiff’s death. The vice president met with the pope a day before his passing.
“WHAT DID JD DO ? VP OF LITTLE FAITH meets with Pope YESTERDAY, today Pope dies,” Schlossberg wrote on Instagram April 21, underneath a photo that read “JD killed the Pope.”
“His parting gift to us was the fact that he did not like JD VANCE, VP of little Faith, at all.”
