For the second time on Saturday, a Republican senator is apologizing for mistaking the late Rep. Elijah Cummings for Rep. John Lewis in a social media post.
The post, which was shared by various users on Twitter, showed a screen grab of the Alaska senator’s Facebook post in which he wrote, « It was an honor to have served alongside John for a small portion of his impressive career of service, and to have joined him at the opening of the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture. »
Displayed below was an image of Sullivan standing outside of the museum with Cummings, not Lewis. Sullivan’s post has since been deleted. The Republican senator’s Facebook page now includes a post with reference to a Washington Post article on the late Georgia congressman’s death.
