USA – NEW YORK – A Manhattan actor and screenwriter ran for City Council to make a political satire about it — and staged a video of himself with a dominatrix to feature in the mockumentary, his campaign manager admitted.
Zack Weiner, a certified candidate in the Sixth District on the Upper West Side, won a bottom-of-the barrel 959 votes in the June 22, 2021 Democratic primary. Ex-Borough President Gale Brewer ultimately won the seat by a landslide in the Nov. 2, 2021 election.
As a climax to his fabricated campaign, Weiner launched himself into the spotlight with a video posted on Twitter showing the shirtless candidate gagged, while a leather-clad dominatrix dripped hot wax on him and clipped clothespins to his nipples.
It was all part of an elaborate hoax. Weiner, whose dad Eric Weiner co-created the famed TV kids show “Dora the Explorer,” played a dirty trick on himself that hoodwinked the media, the public — and the people he asked to vote for him.
At the time, Weiner’s team flagged the video to the Post, claiming they wanted to get ahead of political opponents who might weaponize it.
