Matt Gaetz selling $500 Cameo videos after withdrawing from AG bid
Published in News & Features
Former attorney general nominee Matt Gaetz is now selling $500 videos on Cameo.
The disgraced politician’s new business venture comes a day after he withdrew his candidacy to become the next Trump administration’s chief law enforcement official.
His withdrawal followed congressional and law enforcement investigations that reportedly concluded he paid for sex with a minor on more than one occasion.
“I remain fully committed to see that Donald J. Trump is the most successful President in history,” Gaetz said in a statement ending his candidacy.
The 42-year-old right-wing firebrand also said Friday that he wouldn’t try to return to Congress where he’d served as a representative from Florida from 2017 until just last week.
That will seemingly leave Gaetz more time to record personalized videos for supporters looking for advice, pep talks or birthday wishes, according to his newly created Cameo page.
“Don’t be afraid to get creative with your request, especially for celebrations like weddings, retirements, or bachelor and bachelorette parties that call for a good laugh,” his listing says.
Gaetz is following in the footsteps of fellow Republican politicians George Santos and Rudy Giuliani in joining Cameo to cash in on newfound infamy.
Santos was expelled from Congress last December when it was learned he lied about almost every aspect of his life to get elected to New York’s 3rd Congressional District. He pleaded guilty to wire fraud and identity theft charges in August, and is scheduled to be sentenced in February.
Santos’ videos, which average 44 seconds in length, start at $250.
Giuliani — New York City’s former two-term mayor — was indicted on election crimes in May. That case hasn’t gone to trial, though a civil court ordered him to pay $148 million to two election workers he defamed after the 2020 presidential election.
He charged $375 per video after joining Cameo in August 2021.
Gaetz has not been charged with any crimes and maintains he did nothing wrong.
