Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) briefly offered personalized videos on Cameo, charging $250 per message, before her account was taken offline amid questions about compliance with House ethics rules. Boebert announced her presence on the platform in a video Monday, inviting supporters to connect for “America First pep talks” or special messages.
Cameo confirmed the account’s authenticity, making Boebert the first sitting member of Congress on the platform. However, House rules limit how members can earn outside income, prohibiting honoraria for speeches or similar activities, which may include paid video messages.
By Tuesday, Boebert’s Cameo profile directed to a 404 error page. Her office did not respond to inquiries regarding the ethics concerns, nor did Cameo provide further comment.
Former Reps. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) and George Santos (R-N.Y.), who joined Cameo recently, are not bound by the same restrictions, as they are no longer active members of Congress.
