Mafia hitman-turned-pol John Alite heckled at town hall by ex-Junior Gotti 'underling'

This is getting whacked on a whole different level. 

John Alite, a former Gambino crime family enforcer-turned-mob turncoat now serving as a councilman in the sleepy New Jersey borough of Englishtown, was heckled during his first town hall meeting by a former underling of John Gotti Jr.

However, Alite didn’t have to lay a finger on his critic — 39-year-old Christopher George of Huntington, LI — as dozens of townspeople shouted him down.

George stepped up to a microphone and confirmed he once worked for “Junior” Gotti, Alite’s ex-best friend and the son of late Gambino godfather John Gotti Sr. on various media projects — including some critical of Alite, who testified against Junior in a 2008 federal racketeering trial that ended in a hung jury.

George asked Englishtown Mayor Daniel Francisco if he was “aware” of the newly appointed councilman’s “criminal activities” — only to be drowned out by the angry mob.

“Stop harassing this guy! He did what he had to do. He did his time. That’s it! Go! You don’t belong here!” one resident shouted.

“Do me a favor! Step the f–k out of here!” raged another man gesturing toward the door. “Who the f–k is this dude?”

Another told George if residents are unhappy with Alite’s March appointment they’ll have a chance to vote him out of office later this year, adding “I don’t need to listen to you badger somebody at this meeting.”

Others shouted in unison, “Go! Go! Go!” and demanded cops escort George out before he exited Borough Hall on his own.

George promotes himself online as a writer, director and “investigative journalist” called “Chris Kasparoza.” He has websites devoted to Gotti Sr., Alite and other past and present mobsters.

Alite — who reinvented himself as a motivational speaker since becoming a free man in 2012 — said George has been “harassing” him for years.

The Queens-born goodfella claimed George has popped up at the homes and businesses of family members to confront him — as well as at speaking events he appears at where he tackles topics like domestic violence and the nation’s drug epidemic.

Alite claimed to the crowd that George was “hired by guys from my ex life, and had his own fallout with the Gottis himself.”

“You don’t have to explain!” replied an supporter.

“I just want you guys to know I appreciate what you did, but this is part of my old life that they don’t want me to change,” Alite told the crowd. “They want me to lose my temper. I won’t do that.”

Alite doubled down on his remarks, telling The Post Thursday he’s been “literally harassed nonstop” by “Kasparoza.”

“He’s obsessed,” insisted Alite.

Alite spent 14 years in prison on convictions that include six murders, at least 37 shootings and countless beatdowns while working as a Gambino henchman.

The President Trump-loving Republican was appointed to fill a vacancy through the end of the year after being recruited by Francisco and other local leaders impressed by his civic work helping youths.

George insisted to The Post Friday he wasn’t “sent” to the meeting by anyone and only went to ask Alite and other Englishtown officials questions for a new book and documentary project he’s working on. He also denied harassing Alite or his family.

George said he previously worked with Junior Gotti on “investigative journalism projects regarding career criminals turned government cooperators” they believe are still lawbreakers, including a website dedicated to Alite. The two parted ways professionally in 2022 over disagreements they had about a documentary both were partnering on about Alite, George said.

George also said he wasn’t fazed by Englishtown residents’ spirited defense of Alite at the meeting.

“He had numerous friends in the crowd that night, and I’m sure some of them are good people,” said George. “But like many of his other unwitting victims, I believe at a certain point they’ll realize who John Alite really is and that his only friend is himself.”
