Lauren Boebert deactivates Cameo account amid ethics concerns over outside income

Republican Congresswoman Lauren Boebert briefly joined the video app Cameo, offering personalized messages for a fee. However, she quickly deactivated her account after concerns arose about potential violations of congressional ethics rules regarding outside income. Boebert's Cameo account initially described her as an "influencer" rather than a sitting congresswoman. This raised questions about whether her participation could breach rules against members of Congress receiving payment for media appearances. Experts noted that while other former members like Matt Gaetz and George Santos use Cameo, they have resigned from Congress. The House Ethics Committee has not provided clear guidance on this issue, leaving uncertainty about the legality of Boebert's account.
