A wealthy Democrat running in a crowded primary in New York’s northern suburbs joked about child porn and having sex with a 17-year-old in a series of resurfaced social media posts — and even made a creepy sex-themed comment about his pets.
Peter Chatzky, 65, a millionaire software executive and deputy mayor in the village of Briarcliff Manor, is running in the Democratic primary to face off against Republican Rep. Mike Lawler in New York’s 17th Congressional District, which cuts through parts of Westchester, Rockland, Putnam and Dutchess counties.
Several of the Facebook posts have been taken down, but not before screenshots of the eyebrow-raising remarks were reviewed by The Post.
In August 2020, he posted an email detailing a blackmail threat: pay a bitcoin ransom or a video of him accessing an inappropriate teen porn website and masturbating would be released.
When a friend asked on Facebook if he watched porn with or featuring teens, Chatzky said, “It could be both. Although I’m sure it was neither.”
Then he added, “Pretty sure.” His friend responded with a laugh emoji.
In 2016, a friend told Chatzky he wanted to get him a “17-year-old Lithuanian gymnast” for his birthday.
Chatzky replied, “The so-called Lithuanian exception applies here.”
The millionaire made some disgusting jokes about masturbation.
“They basically are asking me to pay, after watching me masturbating. As you well know, I get paid after people watch me masturbating. It makes no sense,” Chatzky said.
He also made a raunchy comment about then-President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden in May 2012.
“So, is Obama, f–king Biden, or what?” Chatzky said.
Even birthdays and hurricanes were not exempt from his bawdy humor.
He blew out candles on a cake with the words “blow me,” according to a Jan. 1, 2025, photo he posted.
“Hey Irene, blow me,” he said in a 2011 post, referring to the hurricane that caused hundreds of millions of dollars in damage and took the lives of New Yorkers.
His pets were also targeted with vulgarity — with a 2022 photo showing he called his feline friend a “cat slut” for licking his face.
A suggestive picture of his dog rolled on its back with legs spread also bore the lewd caption in an October 2020 post: “Her inbox is exploding.”
Chatzky, who joked in 2019 about his breakfast pork rinds being filled with “deep fried sperm,” has pumped $5 million of his own money into his campaign for the hotly contested seat.
His Democratic opponents include Rockland County Legislator Beth Davidson, US Army veteran and former Biden administration security official Cait Conley, former TV journalist Mike Sacks, Tarrytown village Trustee Effie Philips-Staley.
Lawler is seeking a third term in the district, which is categorized as a “toss up” by The Cook Political Report.
Sonia Ossorio, senior adviser and former president for the National Organization for Women’s New York City Chapter, said the posts showed Chatzky isn’t fit for Congress.
“It’s astounding. His millions of dollars are not going to save him in this campaign,” Ossorio said. “We’re in a new era. No one has the tolerance for such poor judgment, character, and juvenile behavior.
“There are plenty of good candidates to choose from — not Chatzky. It would be poetic justice for a woman to win the seat.”
The New York Times previously reported on some of Chatzky’s other pervy posts.
Chatzky had no immediate comment.
