Former Attorney General pick Matt Gaetz has turned his sights on a new career after claiming he was forced to leave Congress due to a sexual “smear” campaign.
Gaetz sensationally dropped out of the race two days ago amid a series of accusations that included having sexual relations with a minor and using illicit drugs, something he has always denied.
He also retired from Congress for the next year despite being re-elected to the seat he vacated.
But while many were still wondering what he will do next, Gaetz has already taken his big step.
The Florida senator has become the latest Republican to join Cameo, a website that allows ordinary people to pay for video messages from celebrities.
Costing over $525, fans can now receive personalized birthday and holiday wishes, pep talks, advice, and roasts directed at others from Gaetz.
He also answers questions and helps people improve their signature catchphrases. So far, he has already released two motivational speaking videos and has yet to receive any reviews.
‘I served in Congress. Trump nominated me to be Attorney General of the United States (that didn’t work out). “Once I fired the speaker of the House of Representatives,” is how Gaetz describes himself in his profile.

It also claims to be available 24 hours a day to make any type of one and a half minute video.
Gaetz’s latest effort has left many viewers feeling “pathetic” and joking about the questions people might ask him.
One X user commented: ‘Someone ask him what he thinks the age of consent should be!’
While another pointed to capitalism and said: “God bless capitalism.”
‘Him and George Santos. That would be huge,” even one X user suggested.
Another simply said: “mega shame.”
Previously, Gaetz said The Charlie Kirk Show that will now work to recruit talent who can help support the new Trump administration.

Previously, Gaetz told The Charlie Kirk Show that he will now work to recruit talent that could help sustain the new Trump administration.
But Gaetz was already a controversial choice from the start, as his resume lacked legal experience and he had been investigated by the department Trump had appointed him to lead.
“There’s a play that goes on in Washington when they’re trying to smear someone and, you know, they go and trot out false accusations, from years ago, in the most lewd and cliched flavor possible. And in this case that’s what it was.” , he stated.
“Those allegations came from sources that Merrick Garland’s Justice Department already considered not credible.”
He ended up taking on a politically motivated body, he continued, because it triggered the process that toppled McCarthy last year.
‘They were all hand-picked by Kevin McCarthy and had an ax to grind.
“So that was going to at least serve as a sufficient basis to delay my confirmation as attorney general.

He claimed that he was the victim of a politically motivated campaign due to his key role in ousting Kevin McCarthy as Speaker of the House of Representatives, which led to his retirement.
“If the things (in) the House Ethics report were true, I would be under indictment and probably in a prison cell,” he said, according to clips first shared with DailyMail.com.
“But of course they’re fake, because when you compare them to other records, when you compare them to other testimony, it all falls apart very quickly.”
In addition, he insists that he could have responded to all the accusations during his confirmation hearings, but that the process would have dragged out, undermining Trump’s plans to begin his government reform from day one.
And I could have answered all those questions. I could have engaged in a months-long battle of facts, but we don’t have months to go through that.
‘We have to have an AG. We are ready to hit the ground running on day one to implement the immigration agenda and work on the president’s other key political deregulation goals.’
He said he was encouraged by meetings at the Capitol on Nov. 2, when he met with key senators who would help guide his confirmation.

Trump moved quickly Thursday to name a replacement for Gaetz in the form of former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi.
But in the end he announced that he would abandon his studies late in the morning of November 21. Trump moved quickly Thursday to name former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi as Gaetz’s replacement.
The former Florida congressman said Bondi would be ready to get to work on day one.
“My good friend Pam Bondi is going to be a phenomenal attorney general for Donald Trump,” she said.
He has legal acumen. He hates criminals. She is a brilliant legal mind and a fellow Floridian.
“So I think that even though the path will take me to a different stage in life and a different place to fight for our agenda and for President Trump, we have a great person in place.”
Gaetz added that he was willing to serve Trump however he wanted.
“I’m still going to be in the fight, but it will be from a new position,” he said.
‘I have no intention of joining the 119th Congress. “There are a number of fantastic Floridians who have come forward to run for my seat, people who have inspired me with their heroism and public service.”
