MAGA former lawmakers of a feather flock together … on Cameo.
Ex-Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) went the same route as ex-Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.) with his new gig — hawking personalized videos on the video-sharing website for around $500 a time.
Gaetz last week announced he was withdrawing his controversial nomination as President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for attorney general amid intensified scrutiny of sexual misconduct allegations against him. Gaetz denies the claims.
As the Trump acolyte had resigned from Congress in anticipation of the AG job, he said he’ll now fight “from a new perch.”
Trump soon named former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi to the job.
Gaetz popped up on Cameo, where people can pay him for the privilege of reading a message.
It’s unclear how many clips he has filmed. His profile shows seven examples.
Gaetz’s bio on the platform reads: “I served in Congress. Trump nominated me to be US Attorney General (that didn’t work out). Once I fired the House Speaker.”
Critics on social media cringed at the gig.
Others urged people not to buy the videos and put cash in Gaetz’s pocket, even if the clips were a joke aimed at mocking him.
Matt Gaetz is on Cameo now?Eeewwwww.
