Lauren Boebert took down her shortlived Cameo account that offered videos for $250

• Rep. Lauren Boebert joined Cameo on Saturday, offering personalized videos for $250 and up.
• But her account was taken down on Monday evening, per reports.
• She’s the latest Republican to join Cameo, but she may have broken House ethics rules in doing so.

Rep. Lauren Boebert has taken down her Cameo account just days after creating it.

The firebrand Colorado conservative joined the online platform on Saturday, offering personalized videos for a starting fee of $250.

In a now-deleted video posted on the platform, Boebert said she was offering “America First pep talks,” surprise videos for a special day, or other recorded messages.

However, according to reports, her account was deactivated Monday evening. Business Insider found no results in the early hours of Tuesday.

Boebert became the first member of Congress to join Cameo, and the latest Republican to create an account.

Former Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida created an account on Friday, after withdrawing from consideration to be US attorney general under President-elect Donald Trump.

Former Rep. George Santos of New York also joined the platform last December, after more than two-thirds of the chamber voted to expel him from the House.

However, by becoming the first Congress member to join the platform while holding office, Boebert may have broken House ethics rules.

The rules state that House members are not allowed to receive any payment of money or a thing of value for an appearance, speech, or article.

It defines a speech as an address, oration, talk, lecture, or other form of oral presentation, whether delivered in person, transmitted electronically, recorded, or broadcast.

Aaron Scherb, senior director of legislative affairs at Common Cause, a nonprofit organization that seeks to hold power to account, said that profiting from Cameo could “potentially violate the ban,” but he added that it remains “untested.”

The House Ethics Committee hasn’t yet weighed in on the question, Scherb told Colorado Politics on Monday.

He also said that members of Congress would probably be allowed to sign up until the committee provided formal guidance, but they’d need to abide by the maximum outside income limit for House members, which stands at $31,815.

Boebert won Colorado’s 4th Congressional District in November.

She previously represented Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District but chose to run in a different seat after narrowly winning reelection in 2022.

Boebert overcame significant headwinds, including the lingering embarrassment of her “Beetlejuice” scandal, fatigue with aspects of her political persona, and accusations of being a “carpetbagger,” or someone who runs for office in an area where they don’t live.

Boebert only moved to her current district at the beginning of this year.

Cameo and Boebert’s office didn’t immediately respond to BI requests for comments made outside working hours.
