Matt Gaetz Has A Cringey New Grift After Resigning From Congress—And Here We Go Again

The former MAGA Congressman, who resigned after his failed nomination to be Trump's attorney general, seems to have taken a page out of disgraced former Rep. George Santos' book.

Former MAGA Congressman Matt Gaetz announced his next endeavor after dropping out of attorney general consideration last week, and it's giving people the dry heaves.

The embattled ex Representative from Florida, who resigned from Congress after President-elect Donald Trump appointed him as AG, withdrew his name from consideration minutes before more details emerged amidst the sexual misconduct allegations against him that he continues to deny.


Gaetz can now be found on Cameo, the personalized video-sharing website where fans can interact with high-profile individuals through paid custom-made videos.

His latest undertaking follows that of disgraced former GOP Congressman George Santos, who joined Cameo three days after his expulsion from the House last December.

Santos, a convicted felon who pleaded guilty to wire fraud and aggravated identity theft in August 2024, began offering personalized videos through Cameo for $500 each, presumably the starting rate for disgraced former lawmakers.

Gaetz is charging a similar amount so that you too can receive a private video message for all occasions.

Here is a screenshot of his profile.

Social media users were creeped out.



People commented on the wacky turn of events in Gaetz's career timeline.






Last week, a source revealed to CNN that the woman who previously claimed to have had sex with Gaetz when she was 17 informed the House Ethics Committee she had two sexual encounters with him at one party in 2017, a detail that hadn't been reported before.

Minutes before CNN broke the story after contacting him to comment, Gaetz withdrew his AG bid, citing that his confirmation "was unfairly becoming a distraction" as Trump was preparing for his White House transition.




Trump subsequently selected former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi.

In his Cameo bio, Gaetz bragged about his motion to oust former GOP House Speaker Kevin McCarthy.

The description reads:

"I served in Congress. Trump nominated me to be US Attorney General (that didn’t work out). Once I fired the House Speaker."

So far, his profile shows seven videos he's made, including birthday greetings, congratulatory well wishes for newlyweds, and a pep talk on launching a website.

Newsmax Host Epically Blasted For His Hypocrisy After Defending Trump's Profane Easter Tweet

Newsmax host Greg Kelly defended President Donald Trump's use of profanity in his Easter morning threat to Iran, prompting critics to resurface one of his own past tweets calling for a ban on use of the f-word.

Trump lashed out at Iran amid growing concerns about tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow passage at the entrance to the Persian Gulf that carries roughly 20% of the world’s oil supply. Recently, Iran has struck several vessels in the area and warned ships against entering the passage, effectively halting traffic through one of the world’s most crucial energy routes.

MAGA Politicians Called Out After Falling For AI-Generated Photo Of U.S. Airmen Rescue In Iran

At least two Republican politicians are facing criticism after they fell for a clearly A.I.-generated photo of the rescue of two U.S. airmen whose fighter jet went down in Iran over the weekend.

U.S. special forces rescued the second crew member of an F-15 fighter jet shot down over Iran, according to three U.S. officials cited by Axios. The crew member, a weapons systems officer, was wounded after ejecting from the aircraft Friday but was able to walk and evaded capture in the mountains for more than a day.
