Sens. Marco Rubio and Dan Sullivan were each trying to honor Mr. Lewis on social media when they mistakenly posted photos of Mr. Cummings, a Black congressman who died in October.To make it even worse, both of them posted pictures of themselves with the wrong guy. Like oh here's a picture of me with a black guy. Has to be the right one.
