Former Florida Representative Matt Gaetz has found a new platform to engage with supporters following his withdrawal as President-elect Donald Trump's nominee for U.S. attorney general. Gaetz joined Cameo, the popular platform where fans can purchase personalized video messages, and he now charges $500 per video—making him the most expensive Republican on the platform.

Gaetz's Expensive Entry into Cameo

Gaetz joined Cameo on November 22, just a day after pulling out of consideration for the attorney general position amid public and political pushback. His videos, which include everything from job congratulations to holiday greetings, have earned him a five-star rating on the platform. In one video, Gaetz jokes about his absence from the Department of Justice, signaling his characteristic humor and charisma.

Cameo’s description of Gaetz highlights his congressional tenure and recent nomination for attorney general, humorously noting, “That didn’t work out.” Despite his recent controversies, Gaetz appears to be finding a new way to connect with fans while leveraging his political persona.

Republicans on Cameo: How Does Gaetz Compare?

Gaetz isn't the only conservative using Cameo to engage with supporters. Several prominent Republican figures have turned to the platform, offering videos at varying price points.

• George Santos: The former New York congressman, expelled from the House in 2023, charges $250 per video. Santos, who faced legal troubles and pleaded guilty to identity theft, provides birthday wishes and motivational messages.

• Lauren Boebert: The Colorado representative offers holiday messages and roasts starting at $250. Boebert has drawn attention for her fiery rhetoric, but her Cameo videos show a lighter side.

• Sarah Palin: The former Alaska governor and 2008 vice-presidential candidate charges $199 per video. Palin's content ranges from birthday greetings to life advice.

• Roger Stone: The political consultant and longtime Trump ally charges $100 for personalized messages. Stone offers pep talks, holiday wishes, and even satirical roasts.

• Tomi Lahren: The conservative commentator charges $95 per video, offering motivational messages and humorous roasts to fans.

• Joe Arpaio: Known as "America's Toughest Sheriff," Arpaio charges just $19 for his Cameo videos, making him one of the least expensive Republicans on the platform.
