Republicans are upset over some comments made by Democratic senator Dick Durbin.

Unfortunately, they're 100% misrepresenting what he said.

Allow me to summarize:

What Durbin said - "The kind of stuff that happened down there is they type of stuff you would expect to hear the Russians or Nazis did. Not the United States."

What Republicans heard - "Americans are Russians and Nazis."

This happens far too often.
