The progressive darling city council candidate to succeed term-limited Robert Cornegy Jr. in Bedford-Stuyvesant continues to receive backlash and anger over a series of derogatory Tweets he made against the Muslim and Christian faiths as well as women.
As first reported in the New York Post, Candidate Chi Ossé, 23, issued the following on his campaign Twitter feed:
“Bro…your girl smells like a halal cart”.
In another 2019 tweet, Ossé wrote that “rumor has it” that then-15-year-old British actress Millie Bobbie Brown can “fit 37 pistachios up her ass.”
He also tweeted, “Knocked over one of those Jesus worshippers on the subway this morning…feeling random and sinful”.
The district is home to the Masjid At-Taqwa, one of the largest and most prominent mosques in the borough, and has numerous Arab-owned businesses. Additionally, there are dozens of Churches – mainstay institutions in Black-American neighborhoods – in the district.
When the Post contacted Ossé about the missives he blamed youthful indiscretions and condemned the Tweets before taking them down. PoliticsNY has also received a half dozen other Tweets, also taken down, where he issues derogatory comments against the LBGTQ+ community, police and people suffering from mental illness, among others.
His campaign did not return emails from PoliticsNY seeking further comment.
Ossé is the only candidate in 36th City Council District race to receive the endorsement from U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez‘s Courage to Change PAC as well as from progressive Comptroller Candidate Brad Lander, the Working Families Party and numerous other stalwart progressive organizations.
Prominent Arab-American activist, Dr. Debbie Almontaser, the CEO of the Bridging Cultures Group – an organization formed to dismantle stereotypes through training and consultative services – found the revelations deeply offensive.
“The tweet found by the NY Post is outrageous! Though you explained you were young and now condemn it, that is not enough! You owe the American Muslim community an apology,” Almontaser tweeted. “A prominent mosque in NYC is in your district. Shameful.”

Actually this rank-out is pretty funny.
That's what happens when the Soros organization outsources the artificial intelligence (AI) political candidate creation algorithm to lower cost computer programmers.
Sounds like he'll fit right in with the other Dems.
Well, the progressives kind of started the cancel culture, so now that environment has come back and bitten them on the ass. Progressive hypocrisy at its finest
Why is everyone shocked when young muslim men hold standard muslim attitudes about women, gays and other religions.
EVERY @#$&% TIME! Every single one of these holier-than-thou, politically correct, cancel culture supporting SJWs, always, ALWAYS seem to have those exact skeletons in their closet. Every last one of them seems to have history of at least slurs and racist jokes - many turn out to be actual harassers and sex criminals on top of that.
This guy doesn't even have the excuse of having made racially-tinged comments a decade ago, before wokeism reared it's ugly head and starting taking over all our institutions. This guy made these jokes just two years ago! He doesn't even have that excuse. I hope he gets the same fate that his ilk advocates for others who've done the same thing.
37 pistachios doesn't strike me as all that many to hold simultaneously in the average rectum, frankly.
