RNC Site Shows Ho Chi Minh City Instead of Milwaukee

The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reports:

The Republican National Convention’s website included a background picture of Ho Chi Minh City, rather than Milwaukee, an error that was quickly fixed after a screenshot went viral on Tuesday.

Each section on the website now includes a photo of the host city and state. But a background picture for a section labeled “News and Updates” — accessible only from a menu low on the main page — had been a photo of Ho Chi Minh City since at least February, according to the Internet Archive.

A Journal Sentinel reporter viewed the page and the image, which included the distinctive Bitexco Financial Tower in Vietnam’s most populous city.

Read the full article. You will recall that Lara Trump fired dozens of RNC staffers after taking over as co-chair.

Was on the 2024 GOP convention website and saw it used a background image that… does not look like Milwaukee. Which makes sense because it’s actually a photo of Ho Chi Minh City. pic.twitter.com/EoC92NOTcd

For months, the Republican National Convention website mistakenly showcased the skyline of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, despite the nominating event taking place in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.https://t.co/WhziqdObha
