Arguing against statehood for DC, congressman says it has no car dealerships (it does)
CNN
Georgia Rep. Jody Hice claimed that the District of Columbia would be the only state "without a car dealership." He later apologized for the error, though he said he still doesn't know where to find one.
Hice, a Georgia Republican who has been in Congress since 2015, announced that he was running for Georgia secretary of state. He received the endorsement of former President Donald Trump. Then Hice argued that the District of Columbia should not be a state, in part because it does not have a car dealership. Next, he apologized after being told that DC does have car dealerships -- though he explained that he still did not know where to find one.More Related News
