Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) became the first sitting member of Congress on Cameo over the weekend, following former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) onto the video-for-hire platform.

But it didn’t last. By Monday evening, the Beetlejuice fan deactivated her account, which had been offering short video greetings for $250 a pop.

Members of Congress are allowed to earn up to $31,815 for work on the side, but they are not allowed to collect “a payment of money or a thing of value for an appearance, speech, or article,” also known as honoraria. It’s not clear if video greetings would be considered part of that category.

“It seems like it could potentially violate the ban on honoraria, but it’s untested,” Aaron Scherb, senior director of legislative affairs at Common Cause, told the Colorado Politics website. The House Ethics Committee could ultimately decide if sitting members are allowed on the service.

5. Hey Bang-Bang Boebert

You should sell the video camera footage of your "performance" in the Denver Theatre, as your entrance into the porn industry....

Instead of Debbie Does Dallas, you could do Bang Bang does Denver.......

You can be sure, that once booted out of office and the RepubliCON party, your next and only possibility for employment is in the XXXX industry.............

7. She should have her criminal son run an AI OnlyFans using her images

Brilliant!!! He'll pockets all the proceeds and funnel them into her accounts a la Trump and his donor dollars. I should get a 15% fee just for coming up with this idea. Call it "Tramp Stamp Fever" or something..........

8. Stay Classy, Republicans!

Wait until they base their floor votes for passage on the number of bribes they receive in real time via social media.
