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 legal questions about whether this activity violates rules on honoraria for Congress members. Boebert's Cameo account raised concerns about potential conflicts with regulations governing payments for appearances and speeches. The House Ethics Committee may need to clarify if such video greetings fall under these rules. Boebert's account was active for a short time, during which she promoted her services as a way to connect with supporters. Other former lawmakers, like Matt Gaetz and George Santos, are also on Cameo, charging for similar video messages.
