  1. Conservative here: I disagreed with you most times, but you were always a class act. You did what you did well. Go with God.

    1. Robert Blackford — Liberal here: I just wanted to tell you how impressed I am (not being sarcastic) for your comment and your civility. Most Conservatives, who come to The MSNBC and CNN Threads leave nothing but crude and crass “troll-like” comments. After a while, these statements can become soul-deadening. Your thoughts are appreciated, and your demonstrated class is as well.

  2. My deepest sympathy to her family. So sorry for their loss.
    I always looked forward to her opinion on the news of the day.
    A solid moderate voice of reason.
    Mr. Roberts will be deeply missed. V N

  3. Your journalism belongs to a generation, Cokie. You are a brave stubborn and beautiful rebel, who has a sharp edge of gentleness, and also a magnificent one. we will miss you lot.

  4. For 30 years since came from China, I was educated by her roundtables every sunday morning. The very last time seeing her on TV was back to the presidential election 2016.
    I will miss my dear lady so bad……….

  5. I think everyone in DC loved Cokie Roberts. She lived in Bethesda, lovely home, but she said she’d never change the kitchen wallpaper b/c it was the first thing her father would notice as he came up the driveway, in case he came back…. broke my heart. He was in a plane crash in Alaska but I don’t think they ever found him.

  6. Simply eloquent and delivered the news with her southern charm. It is what broadcasting should aspire to emulate. One of my all-time favorites.

  7. My condolences to the family at this most difficult time. Cokie you will be deeply missed. Take a bow in heaven for a job well done. Now take your quiet rest dear sister.

  8. Always a class act and someone to whom I felt a deeply personal connection, though we had never met. I first got acquainted with her through the This Week with David Brinkley tv show in the 1980s. RIP

  9. RIP God bless the family for strength,so sad to loose our love ❤️ ones my prayers to all the family 🙏🏼❤️😇

  10. So sad. I had no idea you were a political person but I love cokie cola and it was you who invented diet cokie. The world mourns your loss.

  11. LOVE YOU!!!!!
    RESPECT YOUR OPINION!!!!!…..AND MOST OF ALL A TRUSTWORTHY JOURNALIST!!!!!
    YOU WILL BE MISSED!!!!!! 💕💕💕💕💕💕💔
