Councilman Chi Osse says he was sent a threatening letter

A Brooklyn pol under fire for what critics said was an anti-Italian remark he made about a Big Apple contractor claimed he received a threatening, racist letter because of it.

“This is neat,” socialist City Councilman Chi Ossé tweeted Friday alongside a photo of the hand-scrawled diatribe.

“Chi Osse — Black n—r,” begins the unpunctuated, meandering missive sent to Ossé’s district office.

“You insulted Dragonetti Company calling us crooks,” it reads, referring to the Brooklyn landscaping contractor Osse had criticized last month.

“If anything blacks are really not only crooks but murderers. Read the papers.”

“You dumb n—r whose ass are you kissing now maybe Cora [sic] Bush, black ugly or Linda Sarsour or Rashida Tlaib, All three uglys,” the screed continues, referring to far-left Reps. Tlaib and Bush, along with Sarsour, a Palestinian-American activist who once tweeted “nothing is creepier than Zionism.”

The letter concludes, “Don’t mess with us or you’ll get it good.”

At a budget council hearing last month, Ossé said of Dragonetti Brothers Landscaping, a city contractor convicted of insurance fraud in 2022: “That name alone should have been the first red flag in terms of contracting with the city.”

In response, the chamber’s Italian American caucus filed an ethics complaint.

Ossé, who reps parts of Crown Heights and Bedford-Stuyvesant, later insisted he was not making an anti-Italian slur and only pointing out the company’s criminal past.

On Saturday, Ossé told The Post that he only saw the letter — which has a May 30 postmark apparently from Long Island — Friday.

“My scheduler said It was sent to our office towards the end of May, and I saw it on my scheduler’s desk yesterday afternoon,” the Democratic lawmaker said.

“She says it came with all of our regular mail. I have not filed a police report, and I have no idea who sent it.”

Police said they were aware of the situation and that a report of aggravated harassment was generated on June 16, when Ossé tweeted about the letter.

“A letter was addressed to a 25 year-old male victim and contained derogatory and threatening messages. The victim posted a photo of the letter on social media. The Hate Crimes Task Force was notified. There are no arrests and the investigation is ongoing,” the NYPD said.

Dragonetti insisted they had nothing to do with the letter.

“My brothers and I find the letter utterly disturbing and consider it an unforgivable attack on a public servant,” Nick Dragonetti told The Post.

“Further, I can clearly and unequivocally represent that no one related to my family or business is involved in creating or disseminating such an offensive, hate filled and racist letter. We would never knowingly associate with any individuals who held such beliefs.”

“Our family stands ready to assist any investigators to determine the true origin of the attack. We are disheartened by the current state of divide in our country that leads to such bigoted and hostile rantings against elected officials.”

Ossé has made frequent controversial remarks about white people, including during the Council’s speaker election, when he declared that a “cis white man” should not be considered for the job.

He has also chided the “incredibly white animals rights movement,” and criticized the New York Times for endorsing too many white men for Congress.
