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.
