On the 51st anniversary of the civil rights march from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama, Bernie Sanders' campaign saw fit to commemorate the occasion with a photo on Twitter.

The only problem: The photo it tweeted Monday is instead from the 2014 film "Selma," showing actors from the Oscar-winning movie marching over the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, reenacting the famous moment.

The tweet disappeared from Sanders' account 26 minutes after it was posted, according to Politwoops. Sanders' account sent two other tweets on the current significance of the Selma march, which remain live.

The Sanders campaign acknowledged the error in an email to POLITICO.
