Two reporters left social media users with the impression Sunday afternoon that Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, had referred to U.S. servicemen as “220-pound male psychopaths,” when in reality the Texas lawmaker’s remarks were made in reference to enemy combatants.

Cruz said during a town hall event in New Hampshire that he opposes efforts that would require women to register for Selective Service, which means they could be drafted into the military. He said he thinks the idea is immoral.
