A June 25 Newsmax article carries the headline, “Hoyer Blames Reagan for D.C. Metrorail Crash.” But Steny Hoyer, the House majority leader, did no such thing.
As the article itself details — cribbed from a CNSNews.com article reporting Hoyer’s comments — Hoyer merely stated that President Reagan opposed funding for mass transit during the 1980s, which Congress circumvented. CNS never claimed that Hoyer “blames” Reagan for the recent Metrorail crash.
