Republican Gov. Scott Walker announced Tuesday the creation of a political action committee to help him raise money as he mulls a presidential run.
The ad features various scenes of what one would assume is the United States.
Several of the videos, however, come from foreign-based photographers and appear to have been purchased through stock image sites.

Last election former Gov. Tom Corbett of Pennsylvania was caught using a stockphoto of a (http://www.buzzfeed.com/andrewkaczynski/black-woman-photoshopped-into-group-photo-with-gop-governor#.puRbAaGWx) smiling black women in what appeared to be a group picture.

Elelderly man staring off into the distance comes from Dualstock, an Italian company.
