Melissa-Harris Perry Cries During On-Air Apology to Romney Family [video at link]
Newsbusters ^ | January 4, 2014 | Noel Sheppard

Posted on 01/04/2014 11:10:14 AM PST by grundle

As NewsBusters previously reported, MSNBC’s Melissa Harris-Perry and a panel of comedians last weekend senselessly mocked a picture of former Governor Mitt Romney’s family because it included his adopted black grandson.

Although she’s already apologized on Twitter, Harris-Perry began her show Saturday with a heartfelt apology much of the time fighting through a lump in her throat and tears (video follows with transcript and commentary):

“But I do think the right-wing populism of the tea party not only became so on obsessed with an anti-government meme, but let’s be honest. there is a race ... racism threaded through the right-wing populism, I mean which is not unusual to American right-wing populism, that has not allowed for coalitions that could be built on behalf of working people in this country against the most powerful interests.”

She found out how liberal Romney was and realized she’d played the race card on the wrong guy.

...they can’t help themselves, it’s only when they hear it from their own that they take notice. She must of heard it from someone of significance to go on a Bonehead like crying jag....

That, or she looked in a mirror and found a true racist. Like addiction, the first step is to admit to yourself you’ve got a problem instead of projecting it on others. I suppose a self-revelation like this can bring a person to tears.

Hard to be Melissa.

Why does she stay in Evil America, surrounded by Racist White People?

She could move to any one of the garden spots of Africa: Nigeria, The Congo, Angola, Namibia, Zimbabwe...she would be in paradise, right? No racists there.

Odd that she doesn’t.

If that’s true, I volunteer to snip that thread.

This idiot is crying because she’s had much backlash. Don’t think a minute folks, she’s sincere!

wahhhhhh...wahhhhhh..... She’s probably darker skin than the baby the Romney family adopted.Not sure but I believe bi-racial black babies (who look like Melissa Harris-Perry with her white mother) have an easier time getting adopted and in getting foster homes than the darker black children.

IOW shes a nasty piece of work tending to get manic when she thinks she has hit upon brilliant points... like her ragging on the Romney family.

What if Mitt Romney had not held the black baby in the photo. Race baiters like M Harris-Perry would have said that Mitt was a racist who did not want to hold or touch a black child. See how it works with this nutballs???

******* I’ll bet Harris Perry got lots of neg feedback from black people and this really jammed her gears to the point of crying on TV

They certainly failed to instill any of those White Mormon virtues in her. She remains a vicious white hating race baiting liberal. It’s as if she were raised in Al Sharpton’s home.

These people are disgusting racists. React when they show you how much they loathe Whites and Blacks. They don’t expect to be called on the carpet, and when they’re caught, they cry like a baby.

Letters (the paper kind) phone calls emails faxes.

For the rest of her existence she should always be referred to as “HRB Melissa-Harris Perry”. Hypocritical Racist Bit c h Melissa-Harris Perry.

She has shown her true colors and does not get a do over. I have nothing but complete contempt for this POS.

So...you're saying she is a bi-racial child, raised by a white Mormon family.

Mitt Romney has a white Mormon family, raising a bi-racial child.

Mitt Romney is a bigoted racist. Thus MH-P was raised by bigoted racists.
