If it's between double quotes, it is exactly, verbatim, what the person said.  There are strict rules about this - to misquote, summarize, or invent anything between double quotes and attribute it as a direct quote is forbidden and potentially actionable.


 Saying that we want to hear their opinion, especially on an issue we've been shutting them out on, is now considered a bad thing?

No, but saying we want to hear their opinion, when one has not made the effort to hear them by holding Senate subcommittee meetings on Europe because one is too busy campaigning for president, is highly hypocritical.
