We had a politician locally who was known by all as "Mirror" because whatever he was asked about he would say "I'll look into it."
In the decade of the "teens" in the early 20th Century there was a New York City District Attorney named Charles Whitman who was running for Governor. He liked his occasional glass of spirits, but he had to try to win all voters including those favoring prohibition. When asked his opinion on the subject, Whitman would solemnly say, "I want a dry Manhattan!" He actually got elected.

There are two ways to be fooled, one is to believe what isn't true, the other is to refuse to believe that which is true.
While I make plenty of spelling errors GUT, I see a possible "Freudian" slip here by your - combining "politician" with "exploitation"? It would be understandable if it is true.
