Kennedy Jr. and wife Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy's tumultuous romance and tragic deaths during an interview on ““It’s not surprising that people, once they remember who he was, want to dress like him and be like him. He was awesome. He was a smart, attractive person, who cared about politics,” he said. “And tried to blend politics and media in his time, just like I’m trying to do right now with social media and politics and our campaign right now.”Jack Schlossberg slams ‘grotesque' Ryan Murphy show about JFK Jr. Jack Schlossberg issue with the fictionalized drama, he said, came amid the “serious problems facing our country,” adding that the Kennedy’s are not just celebrities or icons. “These are public servants,” he explained. “It’s easy to remember my grandfather, my grandmother, my uncle, who were very glamorous people, as just celebrities like people today, but they were public servants. We’re not royalty. We don’t have a royal family in this country.” He celebrated and applauded his late uncle for his political efforts but noted that the problem with the show was in fictionalizing and sensationalizing his romantic life “without giving any credence to the serious things that he did.” The congressional candidate noted that he and his mom did not watch the show, but he did show her a “clip” of Gummer’s portrayal. “We were laughing so hard,” he said. “The person was freaking out and we’re just laughing so hard as if that’s how my mom acts.”Jack Schlossberg also called out one particular look that actor Ben Shenkman, who portrayed his father, wore on the show. “Oh, and my dad!
