George Santos, the recently expelled Republican member of the U.S. House of Representatives from New York, has wasted no time in joining the popular platform Cameo. In his Cameo profile, Santos proudly identifies himself as a "former congressional icon" and declares his status as "the expelled member of Congress from New York City."
For those unfamiliar, Cameo is an online platform that allows users to purchase personalized videos from various celebrities and well-known personalities. It has become a go-to destination for meaningful and unique gifts. While it is not common to find politicians on Cameo, Sarah Palin, the former Alaska governor and vice presidential candidate, stands as a prominent political figure who has embraced the platform.
Santos initially offered his personalized videos for $75 each, but due to high demand, he has decided to raise his fee to $150 per video.
The expulsion of Santos from the House of Representatives on December 1 marked a significant moment in American political history. Only six lawmakers have ever faced expulsion from Congress, making it a rare occurrence. The House Ethics Committee concluded that Santos had violated the law by utilizing campaign funds to cover personal expenses, including luxury goods from Hermes and purchases on OnlyFans.
Addressing the media at a news conference on Capitol Hill just prior to the expulsion vote, Santos expressed his concern about the potential repercussions of removing elected officials based solely on allegations. He stated, "This will haunt them in the future where mere allegations are sufficient to have members removed from Congress when duly elected by their people in their respective states and districts."
Despite his expulsion, Santos has actively maintained his presence on social media platforms. He posted several updates on Monday morning.
As of now, both Cameo and Santos have not provided any comments in response to requests for further information.
Looking towards the future, Governor Kathy Hochul, a Democrat from New York, is expected to call for a special election to fill Santos's vacant House seat.
While some have chosen to mock Santos's presence on Cameo through social media, questions still arise regarding his eligibility for a pension and if he will continue to wander the House floor.
