Lauren Boebert takes Cameo video message profile offline under ethics cloud

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) has already deactivated her account on the video-for-hire Cameo platform.

The Colorado Republican had started offering short video greetings for $250 over the weekend, following in the footsteps of disgraced former congressmen Matt Gaetz and George Santos, but she took her profile offline amid ethics questions, reported Yahoo News.

“It seems like it could potentially violate the ban on honoraria, but it’s untested,” said Aaron Scherb, senior director of legislative affairs at Common Cause.

Honoraria is a payment for professional services that shouldn't be paid for.

The House Ethics Committee could ultimately determine whether sitting lawmakers, who allowed to earn up to $31,815 for work outside Congress but cannot collect payment for appearances, speeches or articles, are allowed to take part in the video message service.

“Whether you or someone you know needs an America First pep talk," Boebert said in her introductory video, "if you want to surprise friends or family with a message for a special day, or if you just want to know my thoughts on whatever’s on your mind, Cameo is the place to connect with me."

The Denver Postconfirmed the account belonged to the congresswoman, who described herself as "not your typical Colorado Republican politician [and a] Jesus loving, Constitutionalist, America first, freedom fighter.”

She had initially listed her profile as a political commentator but later placed herself in the "influencers" category before taking the profile offline.
