The organizers of the Democratic National Convention apologized on Wednesday for accidentally using an image of Soviet-era Russian warships in its backdrop during a tribute to veterans at last week's convention in Charlotte, N.C.

The ships were shown on a screen behind 50 veterans assembled onstage Sept. 6 during a presentation by retired Adm. John Nathman.

"Due to vendor error, incorrect images appeared briefly on screen behind fifty-one veterans during the convention and the DNCC apologizes for this mistake," a Democratic National Convention Committee spokeswoman said in a statement to the Navy Times.

I am amazed ant how many times anything democratic appears to be sabotaged from within, who knew the amount of sleeper agents inside the democratic party willing to introduce errors like this to castrate the inept liberals.

Truly they are the real American heroes..

It’s always someone elses fault. Just like the oversight of God in their platform when you know it was deliberate.

Pray for America

One of the most honest conventions in memory.

Between the Soviet navy in the background while "honoring" our military to removing God and supporting Israel from their platform, they told us exactly who they are.

If only the msm were half as honest!

They may have been built in America, but no American demo team ever used F-5s. They are probably Swiss or Turkish.

Turkish. There are 7 aircraft visible, and Patrouille Suisse flies only 6 Northrop F-5E's. The Turkish Stars fly 8 Canadair NF-5s, and it's one of their formations in the picture

They may have been built in America,

And no. Canada.

Sorry to insult the commonwealth. I was in a U.S. Navy F-5 squadron. When we went to replace our old F-5s we turned down the Canadian aircraft and bought the Swiss instead.
