Prologue
Good evening, Wyoming, we are reporting live from the Twin Kings Ranch following the funeral of United States Vice President Roper King, who was born and raised right here in the small town of Teton Ridge, in the heart of Ridgecrest County.
As many of you know, Roper King was a well-respected war hero and successful cattle rancher who started out in local politics, then served two terms as the governor of Wyoming before becoming vice president. The guest list of attendees read like a star-studded who’s who of celebrities, foreign dignitaries and politicians, including the president of the United States and her husband.
The service began as a somber and dignified celebration of life, then took an unexpected turn when political analyst Tessa King, one of Roper King’s daughters, collapsed on the front steps of the church and was quickly spirited away by the Secret Service. While we don’t have an update on Tessa’s condition, there are reports that she was later seen at the private graveside service along with her five siblings.
Hold on, I’m getting word that one of the Kings is driving this way through the gates and it might be... No, it’s just one of the other family members. Possibly one of Roper’s less famous daughters.
We will update you with all new developments. Now, back to our news desk for more highlights from today’s event...
