Hayes then argued that the Columbia District should not be a state, in part because it does not have a car dealership. Next, he apologized after being told DC had a car dealership – although he explained that he still didn’t know where to find it.
Umair, warning that DC receives some special funding from the federal government, said the country’s founders wanted to avoid making the district “first among the states”. He continued: “DC will be the only state, the only state, without an airport, without a car dealership, without a capital city, without a landfill …”
Democratic Rip of Virginia. Gerald Connolly, condemning the “absurdity” of arguments against the state, later informed the committee that DC has a car dealership. When it came time for Hayes to speak again, he said, “If DC has a car dealership, I apologize for being wrong – I don’t know where it is.”
That dealership is plural, not a single dealership. But anyway, Hice appeared underdated by his mistake. He reiterated his earlier remaining list, warning that DC would become the capital city, state without airports or landfills.
We should ignore that car dealerships and airports did not exist when the constitution was written.
