Can someone explain what Rep. Hoyer said that was so objectionable as to characterize as "spreading a myth" or "he's pooping in our coffee mug and calling it ice cream."?

The only statement I saw even on that issue said

“Everybody in America pays to support the District of Columbia, everybody pays that because it’s the capital of the United States of America. That’s the appropriate way to fund it.”

That statement doesn't imply that the federal government fully covers all costs and lost revenues from being the federal seat of government. He's just saying that the existing--and appropriate--mechanism is for the federal government to pay rather than suburban commuters.

Are we talking about a different statement?
