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

That’s a great shot of … Christiane Amanpour.
Amanpour must be rolling in her grave

I'd like to think this was a clever burn from Al

Either a less than exemplary social media person or an example of how aging is hard

In Al’s defense, he’s an idiot.
