Lauren Boebert deactivates Cameo account amid legal concerns over honoraria rules

Rep. Lauren Boebert of Colorado briefly joined the video platform Cameo, offering personalized video messages for $250. However, she deactivated her account within two days amid concerns about potential violations of congressional rules regarding honoraria. Members of Congress can earn extra income but cannot accept payments for appearances or speeches. It remains unclear if video greetings fall under this restriction. The House Ethics Committee may review the situation. Boebert's Cameo account was confirmed to be authentic, and she described herself as a non-traditional Republican. Other former lawmakers, including Matt Gaetz, are also on Cameo, charging higher fees for their videos.
