You should have thanked them for liking your idea at the meeting. A “I am really happy you like me my suggestion. I appreciate your confidence in me”. It a great way to call them out and not look like an ass

I would not recommend this approach. It's a fairly passive aggressive response to what may be an honest mistake.

Better to talk to them directly to ascertain what the intent was. Intent matters. If they hadn't intended the faux pas, then they can possibly undo and clarify to others to make up for the mistake. Always maintain trust with people of integrity when they can admit mistakes.

Even if the person was being unscrupulous or intentional they're unlikely to be someone you'd want to be a target of longer term. Knowing what they're about without embarrassing them publically in a way that may generate a haunting grudge means you'll be in a position to make smart decisions around them in the future. You can always keep a record of things like this in case you need to escalate to others later on.
