Hahaha you see my dilemma? I want to bring this up to him in a way that doesn't accuse him of anything while still holding my ground and demonstrating my boundaries.

I think so far, this answer is the most "me". I kind of want to see what they have to say before jumping to any conclusions.
It could have somehow been an honest mistake... I know this coworker to get nervous when speaking at meetings and I could see that causing him to misspeak.

Thanks for saying this. I do find I have been bullied at work in the past and want to ensure history doesn't repeat itself there.
One concern I had with bringing it up is that they could gaslight me and say I was remembering it wrong. Now I see why it could be good to bring it up immediately. I didn't say anything in the moment because I felt angry and knew I should step back from the situation before acting.

Interesting. I was initially worried that not bringing it up could signal that I am willing to accept that behaviour.

There really are some mixed responses on this post. I think I will just bring it up to let them know I noticed and give them a chance to explain. Then be cautious of this coworker in the future.
