Betcha some poor staffer gets blamed for this.
The usual Republican dishonesty…
If you gathered all of the Cramer supporters who are bothered by this, and assembled them in one location, I doubt there would be enough people to fill an Intex 18’ x 48" Easy Set Above Ground Pool from Walmart.
Statement from Kramer campaign: “This is clearly Getty Images’ fault for using anything but real American images taken by real American photographers of real Americans in real America settings. This happens because of the world’s worst photography laws that are terrible for America. Heidi Heitkamp - soft on photography. Something will be done if you elect Kevin Kramer for Senate. Kevin Kramer - strong on picture borders.”
I believe that’s what you have scapeterns for.
Here’s a real picture from Fargo. Maybe Cramer’s campaign is in the chipper…
U-Betcha
Not that Cramer isn’t a tool, but I would blame the lazy graphic designer.
All the stock image sites have descriptions to help with searches. You can search Farmer, North Dakota and get results that would exclude farmers in England from example.
Quite fitting for the stock racist, misogynistic Republican candidate. I don’t know much about him, but if he’s a MAGA-ite, the shoe fits.
Far from Fargo? Well, North Dakota IS a pretty big state. And FAR be it for me to criticize.
If you have thousands and thousands in campaign contributions. It is the simplest thing in the world to hire people, drive around and take pictures. It requires foresight, planning, location scouting - but it is nearly as cheap as getting stock pictures. Except for kids, which cost more - but still when you’ve got even the most modest budget - taking your own pictures saves you headaches of this kind.

“You sell them the picture with the tru-coat!”
GOPosaurs can be lazy like this because their voters just don’t care. Anything to “pwn the libs”…
