Peter Loge, director of The Project on Ethics in Political Communication at The George Washington University, said that purchasing Cameo videos in order to use them in a campaign is “sad, but not necessarily unethical.”
“If I were a campaign manager and someone came to me and said ‘Let’s get Larry Wilcox of CHiPs fame to endorse us for $50,’ I would suggest the staffer consider finding a different line of work,” Loge said. To knowingly sell an endorsement is ‘politically daft,’” he added.
