It's legal and customary in your system for your politicians and bureaucrats to routinely lie to you - from their election and appointment onward.
They face no legal repercussions for that - through Article 1.6 of your constitution and "qualified immunity" statutes.
Most recently, the #GFC and #Covid clearly showed that, among many other examples.
As usual, just a few years from now, a "piece of shit" that you support and elect shall be lying to you to your satisfaction.
