RNC website featured image of Ho Chi Minh City instead of Milwaukee
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.
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 WayBack Machine, showing that the image was on the RNC website since at least February. Former President Donald Trump is expected to officially win the Republican nomination at the convention, which will be held at the Fiserv Forum arena from July 15-18.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
