Matt Gaetz, who withdrew his ill-fated nomination for attorney general on Thursday, is now available for hire on Cameo.
It’s been a whirlwind past seven days for the former Florida congressman. President-elect Donald Trump nominated Gaetz for the nation’s top law enforcement job last Wednesday. Hours later, Gaetz resigned from Congress just two days before the House Ethics Committee was slated to vote on whether to release the findings of its investigation into the lawmaker. A witness testified to the committee that she saw Gaetz having sex with a 17-year-old girl at a drug-fueled party in 2017 when he was in his mid-thirties. Gaetz denies the accusation. On Thursday, he withdrew his name from consideration as attorney general after Trump told him he did not have enough votes to be confirmed by the Senate.
On Friday, Gaetz pledged to keep working with Trump and also joined Cameo, a website where users can pay celebrities money to record customized videos.
To obtain a video recorded by Gaetz, users will need to shell out a cool $500.
“I served in Congress,” his bio on the site reads. “Trump nominated me to be US Attorney General (that didn’t work out). Once I fired the House Speaker.”
Last year, Gaetz filed a motion that triggered a vote on whether to oust Speaker Kevin McCarthy, which succeeded but earned him enemies among House Republicans.
Gaetz isn’t the only former congressman on Cameo, as former Rep. George Santos joined after being expelled from Congress in December of last year.
