We agree, it was a great and possibly record-breaking crowd, but it was no Trump rally.

Right-wing media outlet Breitbart tweeted out a picture of a Donald Trump rally in Jacksonville in an article titled "Trump’s Jacksonville Rally Draws 15,000". Rumor has it the site used it after a Twitter user claimed it was in Florida.

There are several problems with using a random photo on Twitter anyway, but we'll spare you.

Either way, Twitter loved the mishap.

LOL. Okay, guys.

Jacksonville looks so much like Cleveland during the Cavs celebration parade for some reason... https://t.co/Jwq3oAk0jt
