As you might have heard, journalist Cokie Roberts died Tuesday at the age of 75.

Renowned ABC News journalist and political commentator Cokie Roberts has died at the age of 75. Roberts was cited as one of the 50 greatest women in the history of broadcasting and was named a "Living Legend" by the Library of Congress in 2008. https://t.co/VSSjXQwQOL pic.twitter.com/FttVv01SV9 — ABC News (@ABC) September 17, 2019

It appears as though someone running Al Sharpton’s Twitter account also wanted to pass on the reverend’s condolences, except Cokie became “Cookie” Roberts … and that’s not her.

Al Sharpton just deleted this tweet in which he said he was "saddened to hear of the passing of legendary journalist Cookie Roberts" while sharing images of Christiane Amanpour pic.twitter.com/MZbgtxy7cy — Justin Baragona (@justinbaragona) September 17, 2019

That’s a great shot of … Christiane Amanpour.
