“I still say its an attempt at a historial ret-con.”
Who cares enough to bother with that? Can’t the media just be ignorant? Maybe they hadn’t heard of Joey Chestnut or the distinction either.
Cummings not on the list on the architect website cause he was laid in statuary hall, which the House alone controls.

Lovely weirdness and ambiguity
I don’t know if Jacob Joseph Chestnut went by “Joey,” but if he could eat as many hotdogs in 10 minutes as Joey Chestnut can then he was fully deserving of the honor of lying in state. But those congresscritters better not give such honor to that cheater Kobayashi.
