Morphology
povertician + rhetoric
The phrase combines a transparent blend 'povertician' (readable as poverty + politician) with 'rhetoric', so the overall meaning—political speech focused on poverty—is directly recoverable from the parts. Even though 'povertician' is nonstandard and not listed in dictionaries, the compounding/blending pattern is regular and cross-linguistically common, so learners who know 'poverty' and 'politician' would likely infer the intended sense.
Etymology
Povertician rhetoric comes from blending poverty and politician, giving a clear picture of a leader standing in a poor area and talking about people's needs. So today it means political talk that is 'focused on poverty and related issues'.
