Everyone knows why Republicans really oppose DC statehood — even members of their own party

When House Oversight Committee Ranking Member James Comer stepped up to speak against legislation granting statehood to America’s capital on Thursday, his message was clear: Residents of Washington, DC should not be granted full representation in Congress because of who they might elect.

“America’s federal government should be of the people, by the people, and for the people. But with HR 51, America’s government will become of the Democrats, by the Democrats, and for the Democrats,” he said, referring to the bill number inspired by the goal of making Washington DC into America’s 51st state. He added that the bill is “all about… Democrats adding two new progressive US Senators to push a radical agenda… to reshape America into the socialist utopia they always talk about.”

District Clause of the Constitution
In the late 18th century, a number of individuals believed that Congress needed control over the national capital. This belief resulted in the creation of a national capital, separate from any state, by the Constitution's District Clause, with a maximum area of 100 square miles (260 km2; 64,000 acres; 26,000 ha) (i. e., based on a "square" where the sides are no more than "ten miles" long).[3]
