MTG launches Cameo page, charges eye-popping amount for personal messages

by

Marjorie Taylor Greene has traded the halls of Congress for personalized video greetings.

The former Georgia congresswoman announced Tuesday that she has joined the celebrity video platform Cameo, where supporters—and critics willing to pay—can purchase custom recordings ranging from birthday greetings to pep talks, advice videos and personalized “roasts.”

The pricing immediately caught attention.

Greene’s Cameo page lists personal videos starting at $164, while businesses wanting to use her likeness for marketing purposes will have to shell out $5,000 for a commercial-use video license. Cameo recommends creators set business pricing substantially higher because those videos can be used in advertising and promotional campaigns.

“If you have a special message for a friend or loved one, I would love to deliver it for you,” Greene said while announcing the new venture on social media. Her profile describes her as an “America First firebrand” focused on issues including releasing the Epstein files and opposing foreign wars.

Although Greene is now selling personalized messages, politics remains front and center in her content.

One of the sample Cameo videos featured on her page starts as a birthday greeting before quickly veering into political commentary.

After wishing a supporter named Montana a happy birthday, Greene jokes that the recipient’s dog, Pino, “might also make a better president than our current one,” continuing her increasingly public criticism of President Donald Trump.

The comments reflect Greene’s dramatic political evolution over the past several months. Once one of Trump’s most outspoken congressional allies, Greene broke with the president over issues including foreign policy and government spending before declining to seek re-election and leaving Congress earlier this year.

Rather than disappearing from politics, Greene appears to be expanding her political brand.

Last weekend she shared photos alongside Tucker Carlson, Rep. Thomas Massie and former National Counterterrorism Center director Joe Kent, describing discussions about creating a new “America First” political party.

Greene has argued that many voters feel politically homeless and has accused both major parties—and Trump himself—of abandoning core America First principles.

Between podcast appearances, social media, political organizing and now Cameo, she’s joining a growing list of former elected officials who are monetizing their public profiles long after leaving office.

MY QUICK TAKE:

Remember when politicians spent millions trying to get our attention?

Now they’re charging us for theirs.

Only in America could you lose a congressional seat on Tuesday and be available for birthday greetings by Thursday.

I have to admit, though, Cameo is probably the most honest thing in politics. At least everybody knows exactly what they’re buying.

No campaign consultants. No focus groups. No 400-page policy papers. Just: “Here’s your video. That’ll be $164.”

And the $5,000 business package?

Some marketing executive somewhere is going to have to explain that expense report.

“What exactly did we purchase?” “Well… technically, we bought a personalized Marjorie Taylor Greene endorsement that expires in fifteen days.”
