Gaetz joins Cameo, charging hundreds for personalized video messages

Matt Gaetz is following in the footsteps of another Republican who left Congress under a cloud of controversy … by joining Cameo.
A day after withdrawing from consideration as Donald Trump’s attorney general — and hours after the now-former Florida representative said in an interview that he would not return for the next Congress — Gaetz created an account on the app where celebrities and other public figures can charge hundreds of dollars or more for personalized video messages.
“I served in Congress. Trump nominated me to be US Attorney General (that didn’t work out). Once I fired the House Speaker,” reads the profile for the “Former Florida Congressman” that’s charging upwards of $500 a video. Semafor first reported Gaetz’s account.
Gaetz follows his one-time colleague, former Rep.

I thought I heard on one of the MSNBC shows that he got money from his father.
Did daddy cut him off? For bringing shame to the family name by not keeping the debauchery better under wraps?
