NYC Council candidate nicknamed ‘Sperminator’ fakes endorsements, news clips: ‘Don’t even know who that guy is’

They’ve got a bone to pick with “The Sperminator.”

Perennial New York City candidate and prolific sperm donor Jonathan “Sperminator” Rinaldi was caught posting phony endorsements and bogus news clips to his social media accounts.

The latest bizarre political antics from the notorious political gadfly from Queens includes a falsified headline from The Post on his Facebook page with the fake headline, “Councilman Bob Holden Crosses the Aisle to Endorse Rinaldi for City Council.”

He’s previously posted a fake Associated Press article that said he’d received the endorsement of ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo.

“Andrew Cuomo has officially thrown his support behind Jonathan Rinaldi’s bid for City Council,” the fake story read.

Rinaldi is running on the Republican line against incumbent Democratic City Council member Lynn Schulman though he does not have the official backing of the Queens Republican Party.

“I don’t even know who that guy is,” Cuomo spokesperson Rich Azzopardi said.

Another doctored post claimed Rinaldi had received the backing of Queens Assemblyman Andrew Hevesi (D-Queens).

“Mr. Rinaldi is a liar, a perennial loser, and a clown,” Hevesi fumed in a statement to The Post. 

“With zero support, zero integrity, and zero record to stand on, he’s turned to pathetic lies rather than trying to actually earn the voters’ trust,” Hevesi said. “Lynn Schulman, on the other hand, is a deeply accomplished public official who has served this community for decades, including her time in the City Council, and earned our support.”

Rinaldi did not immediately reply to a request for comment from The Post Tuesday, but claimed to the Queens Daily Eagle that his Facebook account had been hacked. He then followed that up by posting another fake Amsterdam News story that Schulman had been targeted by law enforcement for hacking.

The Queens man has a long history of oddball political stunts, including near perennial runs for City Council.

Earlier this year ‘the Sperminator’ had city press credentials that he’d somehow received terminated after impersonating a reporter in a call to Holden’s office.
