The Republican National Convention (RNC) is set to be held in Milwaukee on July 15; however, the convention’s website featured a banner image of Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam for several months.
Boston Globe reporter Sam Brodey flagged the blunder on X on Tuesday morning.
The image appears to be an iStock photo posted by Diversity Studio in 2019. Shortly after Brodey’s post, the website’s image changed to a proper one of Milwaukee. A screenshot of the website with Ho Chi Minh City was captured by the Internet Archive’s WayBackMachine, showing that the image was on the RNC website since at least February 2024.
