I'm guessing it's something someone was working on in the case of it happening, but it's weird that it ended up in the files for on-air. Glad they apologized, though.

Tomorrow morning, 3 am:

@realDonaldTrump

I am very pleased to announce the appointment of Roy Moore as acting SCOTUS Justice following the death of "notorious" RGB. Will be very tough and very loyal. Thank you!

Yes, she's died and it's being covered up to deprive Jesus Christ Trump of a Supreme Court appointment /sarc

Thank God it was Fox so there weren't any liberals watching. The amount of simulatenous heart attacks would have been too much for hospitals to bear.

It is my understanding networks have such graphics prepared and ready for when it happens.

Right, this is a "mistake" the same way them putting a D next to Foley's name in 2006 was a "mistake". Network is comprised of nothing but human garbage.

Not to pull a Bronz, but MSNBC once called George Wallace a Republican. It's more just wish fulfillment than conspiracy, I think.

Again this stuff is normal for news agency to pre prepare. Although morbid it is part of what they do.

This was a signal to McConnell and Grassley for them to just go ahead and allow Trump to appoint a new Justice anyway. He might as well.

To own the liberals.
You know, normal and typical a$$hole conduct from many on the right.
Don't be too shocked.

Since it's Fox, wouldn't be surprised if on purpose.
