After being chastised by Sarah Palin, defender of Phil Roberton's homophobic and racist remarks, MSNBC host Melissa Harris-Perry is now apologizing for joking that Mitt Romney's grandchild might marry Kanye West and Kim Kardashian's daughter. “As black child born into a large white Mormon family I feel familiarity w/ Romney family pic & never meant to suggest otherwise," Perry said over Twitter. "I apologize to all families built on loving transracial adoptions who feel I degraded their lives or choices," she added.
Perry was the target of Palin's, RNC chair Reine Priebus's, and many others' ire after she and guests on her show made fun of Romney's adopted black grandchild Kieran. She joked about a Kieran Romney-North West marriage, while her guests made remarks about the lack of diversity in the Republican party.
Those jokes did not go over well with free-speech crusader and media critic Sarah Palin. "Holy [maybe sic? Who knows?] unbelievable," she wrote. "What on earth is more beautiful [than a diverse family]? Shame on MSNBC for mocking this," she added....

If Perry had her way, either the child would have been aborted or become a ward of the state.
Few democrat/socialist/useful-idiot voters read.
Them that do have conditioned Progressive Pavlovian filters.
I’m not sure the writer of this piece does not believe that the remarks were as characterized. No mystery: no reason in the mind. Just dreckful hate.
Phil Roberton’s homophobic and racist remarks...”
...no reason to read any further. Self explanatory.
Yep, exactly. My new favorite question for smug liberals - “Exactly how does XXX evidence an irrational fear of homosexuals?”. That’s usually after I’ve labeled them hoplophobes.
Perry said over Twitter. “I apologize to all families built on loving transracial adoptions who feel I degraded their lives or choices,” she added
That is ADOPTIONS PERIOD,you hateful person. Not everything has to be about RACE!
Does MSNBC make fun of DeBlasio’s black wife and children?
Another RAT playbook non-apology apology.
crap writer. throws in “free speech crusader” trying to go for irony. I wonder if the writer has any idea what “free speech” actually is about ?
They’re lying, as they always do. They thought everyone would chuckle along with them. They really don’t like it when the normal people react. They thought we were all sheep.
Thank you for your service and happy new year! My late father was a commo chief who was in from 1943 to 1965.
We had Phil Robertson facing down A&E and the media's political correctness police.
We had Sarah attacking a minority over racist remarks.
Beyoncé is being humiliated over some song about something that happened before she was born.
Are the right wing haters now qualified to pass judgment on the enlightened ? /Sarc.
Is this a little grandson for sure? The baby appears to be dressed in pink. I am confused.
in other words...please change the subject and stop looking at the hatred at MSNBC.
Yeah, that’s weird.
Enough with the homo “phobic” BS.
Now they all owe Sarah and her family apologies. What Maroons!
She’s not apologizing. Being sorry for the other person feeling bad is not the same as being sorry for what you said.
Phil Roberton’s remarks were neither homophobic nor racist, as anyone who read the actual interview transcript can attest.

That’s the problem the left now faces; too many alternative outlets for the full, or in many cases, truth to get out.
What does Palin have to do with this story? How many back-flips and contortions must one do to somehow force Palin into this narrative?
It was a classless comment attacking a freakin' baby. How insecure, and downright evil, must you be to attack a toddler? Frankly, I think her comments were worse than Bashir. At least Martin targeted an adult.
Governor Palin is part Emmanuel Goldstein, part shadow president and it drives them up the wall.
That's the difference.
