MSNBC host Melissa Harris-Perry offered an apology to the Romney family on Tuesday after a panel on her show mocked the fact that one of Mitt Romney's grandchildren was black.

On Sunday's "Melissa Harris-Perry" show, Harris-Perry led a panel in discussing the "Photos of the Year," which included a Romney family Christmas photo. In the photo, Romney is seen holding his adopted grandchild, Kieran, who is black.

Yet when people like Madonna or Angelina Jolie adopt black kids the MSM falls all over themselves to "celebrate" them. This child has been adopted by a loving God fearing family, he'll have a wonderful life.

MSNBC deserves the rock bottom ratings they've achieved.

Liberal [racist] takes a dump in the punch bowl and then says she’s sorry you don’t like how she improved your recipe for punch.

That’s a liberal apology. And what it is worth. About as much as a turd in your punch bowl.

Probably the standard, “Sorry if anyone was offended” non-apology.

Is it an apology if it goes out over Twitter?

She made the statement on air.

Apologize on air.

Not that I think there is anything heartfelt in her apology.

It was a series of five tweets over a span of ten minutes:

I am sorry. Without reservation or qualification. I apologize to the Romney family.

I work by guiding principle that those who offend do not have the right to tell those they hurt that they r wrong for hurting.

Therefore, while I meant no offense, I want to immediately apologize to the Romney family for hurting them.

As black child born into large white Mormon family I feel familiarity w/ Romney family pic & never meant to suggest otherwise.

I apologize to all families built on loving transracial adoptions who feel I degraded their lives or choices.

A fake apology from a network no one watches.

Somebody must be watching. Every day there is some scandalous report about them.

"Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things." -Phil. 4:8

I more or less think of the left as unhinged these days. They’ve lost perspective. They aren’t just anti-Conservative. They’ve actually devolved to vile creatures that are incapable of reigning themselves in. They have no morals and no self control.

How do you justify going after a family that chose to adopt a child, and how do you go after the child as well?

These people are just evil. They are so far gone that they can’t keep from doing this sort of thing. And if they should be motivated by something or someone to apologize for their actions here, it won’t dawn on them at all, that this is merely the tip of the iceberg, and that across the board their thinking is so depraved, that they need to turn their whole lives around.

I can’t watch their shows. The sickness is so prominent, and the damage they are doing is so evident, that it’s just self-destructive to expose your mind to it.

There’s no value in looking in the toilet to observe. You just flush.

Hey, don’t fall into the liberal way of speech suppression. Speak against her, rebut her, mock her, but let her speak.

This whole thing of losing your job over speech is what the liberals do, because they’re weak. Let’s not be weak.

NONE of the ‘apologies’ coming from the left are sincere...they just do it until the ‘heat’ is off...’crackers’ are so gullible.

Funny thing is that the adoptee is probably blacker than the “lyin’ king” by, say, 50%.

She apologizes for ‘hurting’ the Romney family. I think she wrongly assumes that the Romney family gives a damn about what she says or does.
