Host of eponymous “Melissa Harris-Perry Show” is under fire for making the race of Romney’s adopted grandson a punchline.
MSNBC host Melissa Harris-Perry concluded the “What’s So Funny About 2013?” segment of her Sunday show with a chorus of laughter at the black grandson pictured in former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney’s family Christmas photo. The chuckles were directed at baby Kieran – who was adopted by Romney’s son Ben and his wife Andelynne in September.

“One of these things is not like the others, one of these things just isn’t the same,” panelist Pia Glenn offered as a caption for the photo, which the Romneys tweeted on Christmas Eve. (Lyrics of the original Sesame Street song are, “One of these things just doesn’t belong.”)
“And that little baby, front and center, would be the one,” Glenn said.

Do you have any basis for this comment?
I think you missed the unwritten < /sarc > tag.
Unfortunately, it wasn’t sarcasm. This poster has a formidable dislike for Mitt Romney’s religion and is prone to come up with anything she can to disparage him no matter how false it happens to be.
Tire of hypocrisy? Why should they when they get away with it like unsupervised children!
And deeper into the toilet they go because they know they can get away with it if they just issue a so-called “apology.”
Conservative adopts child of another race and it is laughable.
And racist. Libs calling the child Romneys “token” child.
