A TOP AIDE to a Republican New Jersey Senate hopeful running against Cory Booker went on a bizarre rant against the popular pol, implying the Newark mayor is gay because of racy tweets he exchanged with a stripper.


“It was just weird. If (Booker) said, ‘Hey, you got really hot breasts, man, I’d love to suck on them.’ Then like, yeah, cool. But like, he didn’t say that,” Rick Shaftan, a senior aide to Republican Steve Lonegan, said in his off-kilter outburst, published Friday on Talking Points Memo. “It was like what a gay guy would say to a stripper. It’s just like like there was no sexual interest at all.”


The crude aide later said he regretted the remarks.


Booker exchanged flirtatious tweets with vegan Portland-based stripper Lynsie Lee in September.


Shaftan also took a jab at the Daily News, mocking Booker for taking out Web ads on the newspaper’s website, “which nobody f—— reads in New Jersey.”
