Among those criticizing Julia’s decision was Jack Schlossberg, the grandson of John and Jackie, who passed away in 1994 at the age of 64. He claimed on X: “Julia Fox glorifying political violence is repulsive, desperate, and dangerous. Her late grandmother would probably agree with her.
Following her husband’s murder, Jackie was pictured standing next to Lyndon B. Johnson, who at the time served as vice president.
According to Steve Gillon, a historian, in 2022, “They actually had another dress laid out for her to put on, and she refused.” She walked out with Lyndon Johnson and donned her blood-stained suit.
