Journalist and political commentator Cokie Roberts has passed away “due to complications from breast cancer,” her family announced on Tuesday. She was 75. Roberts wrote eight books and won three Emmy Awards over the span of her ABC News career and was named a “Living Legend” by the Library of Congress in 2008. “We will miss Cokie beyond measure, both for her contributions and for her love and kindness,” her family said in a statement. Roberts is survived by her husband of 53 years, journalist Steven Roberts. James Goldston, president of ABC News, said that Roberts will be “dearly missed.” He added: “Cokie’s kindness, generosity, sharp intellect and thoughtful take on the big issues of the day made ABC a better place and all of us better journalists.” When speaking to reporters Tuesday, President Trump said Roberts “never treated (him) nicely.” “I never met her... But I would like to wish her family well,” he said. “She was a professional and I respect professionals. I respect you guys a lot, you people a lot. She was a real professional.”
