Tatiana Schlossberg Criticized RFK Jr.
Tatiana Schlossberg shamed RFK Jr. for cutting medical funds.
In her essay, she also criticized some of the decisions RFK Jr. had made as the Health and Human Services Secretary.
"As I spent more and more of my life under the care of doctors, nurses, and researchers striving to improve the lives of others, I watched as Bobby cut nearly a half billion dollars for research into mRNA vaccines, technology that could be used against certain cancers," she wrote.
Tatiana Schlossberg was John F. Kennedy's granddaughter.
In addition, Tatiana mentioned her family's troubled past, which includes the assassination of her grandfather John F. Kennedy.
"For my whole life, I have tried to be good, to be a good student and a good sister and a good daughter, and to protect my mother and never make her upset or angry," she penned. "Now I have added a new tragedy to her life, to our family's life, and there's nothing I can do to stop it."
