My impression of that report was that this was a group of House Democrats standing at a podium talking about the days' events in the House. For Rep. Hinchey to say what he did when he did could be taken as representing the opinions of the group of speakers, which may have been representing the Democratic Party at the time--and he was not corrected by the others speaking. We would need to know more in what capacity Rep. Hinchey was speaking, etc., etc.

Rep. Maurice Hinchey (D-NY), member of the House Appropriations Committee and one of the most-ardent opponents of off-shore drilling (at 1115 said): "We (the government) should own the refineries. Then we can control how much gets out into the market."

{...} House Democrats responded to President's Bush's call for Congress to lift the moratorium on offshore drilling. This was at an on-camera press conference fed back live.

{...} Among other things, the Democrats called for the government to own refineries so it could better control the flow of the oil supply.
