Jack Schlossberg Criticizes DOGE for JFK Library Closure

Jack Schlossberg, the grandson of John F. Kennedy, has publicly condemned the temporary closure of the JFK Library and Museum, attributing it to an executive order by President Donald Trump that led to federal workforce reductions. In a passionate social media video, Schlossberg criticized Trump and Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), alleging they are using propaganda to erase historical legacies like that of his grandfather. He expressed outrage over the layoff of staff who are essential for the library's operations, emphasizing that the closure risks obscuring significant historical achievements. Schlossberg's statements resonated with other Kennedy family members who also expressed disbelief at the circumstances. Despite the library's temporary closure, the JFK Library Foundation stated it would continue to support its staff and the institution. The National Archives confirmed that the closure is not permanent, aimed at addressing staffing issues caused by federal cuts.
