Brain Teaser

In a certain make-believe community, politicians never tell the truth, and non-politicians tell nothing but the truth. A traveler in that community meets three natives. The traveler asks one native if he (the native) is a politician, but when the native answers, the traveler doesn't hear what the native says. The second native then reports that the first native denied being a politician. And the third native claims that the first native is really a politician. How many of the three natives are politicians? Explain how you know your answer is right

logics anyone?

The first one, I dn if it's true, but that's what I think. Majority rules.

:WTF:

:idea: Native one is not a politicain because he said that he was which was lie, and the second said he said he wasn't one but he said he was which was a lie. The first one is a politician, the second one is, and the third is not.
