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

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):

Her apologies are as fake and ugly as her hair.

She's just another MSNBC racist pig who got stuck on the shaft of truth and now she's squealing.

Surprised Ms. Hyphen doesn’t blame her racist white morman upbringing.

It was a smarmy self righteous apology.

‘’l understand you’ve taken exception to my calling you whores. l’m sorry. l apologize. l ask you to note that l did not call you callous-ass strumpets, fornicatresses, or low-born gutter sluts. But l did say whores. No escaping that. And for that slip of the tongue... l apologize.’’

...or she didn’t get enough mileage on the insult the first time, so she wanted to get it out there again. Faux apologies aren’t uncommon among libs.

The woman is an angry, white hater. She’s a professional “constantly offended” non-celebrity. Stop giving a damn what she says.

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.

Maybe she got infected in college.

If she were truly sorry, she would voluntarily take a leave of absence for a couple of weeks - without pay. I know it will never happen, but it’s what an honorable person who made an egregious error would do. And it would distinguish her as a person of humility and class. Which by trying to soft-pedal the whole thing, she obviously is not.

Lump in her throat my butt..she is a scheming commie and would not know how to cry if someone paid her..
she isn’t sorry about what she did..She is a sorry commie mouth piece for MSNBC though.

It really doesn’t matter there are so few morons that watch anything on MSNBC it doesn’t matter..

I commend her and accept the apology. Seemed sincere to me.

As with MSNBC's Martin Bashir and his vile insult to Sarah Palin, Melissa Harris-Perry makes an on-air apology probably written for her by network honchos. She just added the pathos. It's all a fraud.

MSNBC is a nest of leftist vipers and Harris-Perry fits right in. Because that networks management approves of her rubbish, they won't fire her. However, it is possible that, like Bashir, she'll decided to 'resign'. That ends the controversy and saves the network from appearing as if they disagreed with her mocking an adopted black baby sitting on Mitt Romney's lap. We all know that image clashes with the left's false characterization of Republicans as inherent racists who yearn to oppress black people and why Melissa Harris-Perry was compelled to ridicule the reality that the photo presented.

"Melissa-Harris Perry Cries During On-Air Apology to Romney Family ..."

.... Hells Bells .... that's not enough!!! .... I think she should forced by the powers that be to do penance by doing the "Apology Tour" to all of the NAACP associated activists and groups at the very least ... just like a Conservative is forced to do when anything remotely racist is even vaguely detected in any statement made buy them or any of their relatives and predecessors within a 100 years of his or her birth.

Heck .... it's only fair!!!

I’m not so sure her job is ‘hanging by a thread’. Phil Griffin, the MSNBC pres. wants his gang to behave rowdy, he wants the wild and unruly zealots on his station. It would not surprise me for MSNBC to have a Muslim Brotherhood sympathizer for Morsi to be given a show of some type, just knowing this act would enrage and concern people. This station thrives on misery. Perry is stretching this story out for yet another week. Stretching it out like Turkish Taffy.

Maybe Melissa Harris Perry and cute murderess, Jody Arias, can start a fake crying contest. Maybe that pretty killer, Jody Arias, can give Melissa Harris Perry ear ring tips so the MSNBC commentator will not wear those stupid condom earrings anymore.

When Chelsea Clinton, Hillary’s daughter, adopted a black baby boy last year, the Old Media didn’t say a word about her new pet child. And Chelsea was quoted as saying, “I’m going to give him a forever home.” Like she was picking up a stray dog from the local shelter.

She was raised by a white Mormon family.

Who? Surely not the MSNBC grievance queen, and race baiter, Melissa. I guess you meant it as a sarcastic remark (you forgot the /s tag).
