Introduction:
This video compiles a pattern of US congress member, Tim Walberg lying to the public about the sources of his information. Two of the examples show constituents directly asking Walberg what his source was, while the information was still in Walberg’s hand, and he lied directly to those constituents’ faces. One of those constituents was me, and it wasn’t the first time Walberg had done that to me, and I refuse to get used to it, which is why I make these reports.
