- Jack Schlossberg, the grandson of President John F. Kennedy, has openly criticized relative Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the son of JFK's brother RFK.

- He revealed that he's seen RFK Jr. in his dreams, where the Trump administration official delivered good news.

- The congressional candidate said he's had such an encounter before.

Jack Schlossberg and RFK Jr. aren't close, but they've maintained a connection, via the former's dreams.

Schlossberg, the son of President John F. Kennedy's daughter Caroline and her husband Edwin Schlossberg, explained to Politico's Dasha Burns in a TikTok posted Tuesday, that he hadn't been awake for his most recent encounter with Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

When asked when he had last seen the son of his grandfather's brother, Robert F. "Bobby" Kennedy, Schlossberg, 33, was candid: "I had a dream about him the other night but, before that, it was when I was about 16."

And, while Schlossberg has made it clear that he doesn't support his relative politically, the conversation in his dreams was positive.

"He was saying, 'Good job. You're gonna win,'" explained Schlossberg, who's running as a Democrat to represent New York's 12th district in the U.S. House of Representatives. "And everyone's really freaked out about it up here."

He added that such a meeting with the member of the Trump administration has happened before.

"Right before I passed the bar exam, I had a dream where he told me I was going to pass the bar exam," Schlossberg said. "So it’s all good. He tells me the future."

Schlossberg has been critical of his first cousin, once removed, in public.

"He repeats things that are common sense knowledge that we all know," Schlossberg said this month on the NBC News podcast *Here's the Scoop*. "He repeats wellness talking points that everybody already agrees on, and then acts like they're these brand new ideas."

People know, he said, that junk food is bad for them and organic food is good.

"He just tells people, 'Eat better food. Eat healthier organic food.' Well, you know what? People are struggling to buy groceries. People are struggling especially to buy organic food that is often more expensive. People live in food deserts," Schlossberg said. "So what's your plan to help them?"

The political candidate said Kennedy is "wrong" to oppose vaccines and "life-saving vaccine research."

He's not the only member of the famous family to have spoken out against RFK Jr., of course. Among others, Schlossberg's mother has denounced the secretary.

In January 2025, after he was nominated for his position, the former ambassador to Australia and Japan wrote to senators voting on his confirmation that her cousin should be disqualified because of his views on vaccines alone.
