10:16Now Playing"Lots going on up at Capitol Hill as the Senate debates whether or not it should do what 90 percent of the country wants and improve the gun-sales background check system, the "gang of eight" keeps working to advance their immigration bill, and everyone runs around in a state of anxiety over a bunch of ricin-laced letters that apparently made their way into the offices of various lawmakers.
Which is kind of not the ideal environment for a bunch of right-wing blogs to start dredging up nonsense over a sinister plan to give away free cellphones, mirroring the ancient election year grievance over "Obamaphones," but that's what's happened. And now, the office of Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) has had to take the time to clarify that this is not happening."*
Marco Rubio's immigration reform bill is pretty bad, with a pathway to citizenship that's difficult to get through for most people. Still, all you need to say is "pathway to citizenship" to watch conservatives freak out and turn on fall-guy Marco Rubio. Cenk Uygur breaks it down.
