Someone at The Hill might be out of a job after they accidentally confused former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice with former National Security Advisor Susan Rice.
The publication used a picture of Condoleezza as the header for an article about Susan’s potential Senate run.
Damn, y'all. For real?? @thehill

Susan Rice, who worked in the Obama White House, said she would give a Senate run “due consideration.” The statement followed a tweet confirming she'd be willing to attempt unseating Maine's Senator Susan Collins, according to The Washington Post.

"It’s a complicated political environment," Susan Rice said. "There are lots of good Democrats in the state of Maine. I will have to do a lot more homework before I make a decision.”
Collins sparked outrage when she voted to confirm Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. A group opposed to Kavanaugh's confirmation has raised over $3 million on CrowdPac that will go to the Democrat who challenges the Maine senator in 2020.
Twitter was just as pleased with The Hill as those donating to the anti-Collins fund were with the senator.
Are you SURPRISED? Incidentally, It's 2018. What the hell is wrong with you folks that you can't do a hard edit? Susan Rice and Condoleezza Rice. Really? And why lately does it seem directed towards black women? I don't see Mitch McConnell being mistaken for Lindsey Graham.

Showing a pic of Condoleeza Rice instead of Susan Rice just proves all black Rice's look the same to The Hill.

There is no excuse for this “mistake.” And the fact that @thehill hasn’t issued a correction and an apology speaks volumes.

You mean those ignorant fools over at @thehill don't know the difference between Susan Rice and Dr. Condoleezza Rice? I'm sure this was written by a white person who doesn't have one black friend.

The Hill hasn’t apologized for the mistake but has swapped out the picture on the article.
