"Politicians telling the truth" would be an oxymoron though
you mean, a politician lied to suit their own agenda? say it aint so!
You're assuming politicians are sincere.
Politicians are most honest when they are lying it seems :)
There is a public interest issue when politicians says one thing to the voters and another behind closed doors.
Politicians are incentivized to lie and dissemble in the other direction. Pick your poison.
I would not trust a single word coming out of these politicians. they are basically spreading fud.
Sure, don't assume malice with regular people, but US politicians are completely disingenuous and they know exactly what they're doing. It is rare for them to "really believe what they say they believe", because saying anything true at all pretty quickly starts to reveal their financial interests.
Sounds like something a politician would say when they're trying to trick you into believing something other than what they are saying.
Politicians do bad things, too.
