According to Nick Iacovella, a spokesman for Mr. Rubio, the mix-up with the photo of Mr. Rubio and Mr. Cummings happened because of a mislabeled photo. Screenshots show that caption information indeed identified Mr. Cummings as Mr. Lewis. Mr. Lewis died at 80 Friday. For all its prestige, Capitol Hill is still just another workplace, and the senators’ posts were far from the first instances of Mr. Cummings and Mr. Lewis’s having been confused for each other. In late December, CBS News apologized for incorrectly showing a photo of Mr. Cummings when referring to Mr. Lewis.
