year ago Melissa hers parent more apologies are needed
for the grotesque actions taken a couple weeks ago
on her show they had a year-end so
to show with poor comedians on their and they will put captions for
pictures trying to be funny he talked about Mitt Romney's
grandson how'd dare they let me show you this sickening display
everybody love a baby picture and this was one that was really a lot of people
have emotions about this
baby picture that here this is be
Romney family your right arm and
and of course their on arm II governor Romney's me
is apparent adopted grandson with african-american adopt an
african-american child care and Ronnie
any caption for this one 1mb
been rather to be anything bad bad little baby
from and tear with I'm rather remote cord is my
my goal is that in 2040 the biggest thing about a year
will be the wedding between here and Romney and northwest yeah
ron tank on a well-liked and lower I
this picture great say it's really sums up the diversity the Republican Party
yeah
1841 of my god I'm
outrageous sicky did you hear that she called the baby gorgeous
how dare she now we talk about this
big outraged last week so what what's the new twist on this the
well of course the outrage
has not abated even the most errors parry
apologize profusely on Twitter and tearfully on MSNBC which will show you
in a minute
a well Fox News a is you know
so outrageous the they're gonna bring on Mitt Romney
ask him about it chris wallace to some girls in here from
for some reason MSNBC decided to make and bake target
for ridicule governor this this must be hurtful and I know you're a classy guy
and you don't want to get into it but I gotta ask honestly
from the heart how did you and quite frankly how did missus Romney feel
when you heard that your little baby grandson karen was the target for
political ridicule
well first let me just now Chris that we love this little guy a great deal
I he was a an answer to prayer and that we love that is part of our family
he is part of our family a that being said that I i recognize that
that people make mistakes and the folks at MSNBC made a
a big mistake and and I apologize for it and that's all you can ask for
I am I'm gonna move on from that I'm sure they want to move on from it
I look I've made plenty of mistakes myself and
and they've apologize for this and you I think we can go on from there
I S a great reaction by Ronnie absolutely nothing wrong with that
and very clear so he's moving on from it probably the only person not moving on
from it is Chris Wallace
cuz this is the one topping you decided requires follow-up questions
to love them watch well I mean it let me just ask if I can press just a little
bit on there sir I
you tend to speak from the had I known as the promenade tends to speak from the
heart
I suspect she took this somewhat more personally
at you know the idea that political discourse what include going after a
little baby
well you know I think people recognize and the the folks at MSNBC you've
apologized recognize that
people like me are fair targets I think it's a heartfelt apology
and I think for that reason and I we we hold the no I
Noel will whatsoever finally I just one apply because the anchor of the segment
as you mentioned Melissa harris-perry
yesterday on her show did apologize for a comment
on the other hand I have to point out during the segment G at a
got Lapan said maybe Karen would marry that came Cardassian his daughter and
then you
and condi a West would be in laws your reaction to our comments than
and her apology yesterday sir I
you know I think her apology was clearly heartfelt and and we accept that
I had to add with regards to the the rush to the comments I
hadn't heard those that add that don't really have any comment on those
for the first time I actually felt bad for written Mitt Romney
a third question you they gathered acid its third okay it was a girl apology
accepted every time you over to tell your day
XO now look sometimes actually believe it or not Chris was good journalism that
was not an example of it
okay and the reason the asset over and over is because he knows that's the only
thing that anybody's gonna pay attention to
the recipes Romney interview no one gave a damn about but I like tall girls was
asked about the bird
millet he said going after a baby like that
did the stab the baby what does it do the baby
nobody ever said that there was anything wrong with the baby
the senate's looks like its the problem that republicans have a diversity
there's only one black person a picture
that score a political point I got the baby say a cot damn baby you see I snuck
in there
it never something about the baby doll gold after the baby
it's ridiculous to albany is made up so they can say well you know partisan
races sometimes in
all look at that MSNBC go after a black kid like that link
heartless heartless by the way
I think the entire army family the biggest is so vital the whole thing
who has when chris wallace was like now I know you think with your head but your
wife
which in turn is bright she's kinda motional flies off the handle
had no come I see with pass laws this year
by the way you want to see the title above Mitt Romney's last book
yet no apology that's right it's so
even as a reminder for her if they I got a special apology that would be ironic
person asking again Romney did absolutely nothing wrong there is an SES
were great
now finally let's bring you that teary apology from Melissa harris-perry they
came on Saturday
to hopefully and this whole thing
a given my own family history identify with that picture and I intended
23 pop it even fell between things about it but whatever the intent was
the reality is that the segment proceeded in a way that was offensive
so without reservation or qualification I apologize to the Romney family
adults who enter into public life implicitly consented to having left
privacy
but their families and especially their children should not be treated Calif
week or thoughtlessly
intention was not malicious but I broke the ground rule
that families are off limits and for that I am sorry also
allow me to apologize to other family so formed through transracial adoption
because I am deeply sorry
we suggested that interracial families or in any way funny
we're deserving a virtual on this program we are dedicated to advocating
for a wide diversity of families and is one of our core principles
and I'm reminded of that when we are doing so we must always be with the
upmost respect
genuinely appreciative a bit everyone who offered serious criticisms
a black Sunday's program and I'm reminded that are fiercest critics
confirm times be our best Nova
back I already had their own a house
I i feel bad criticizing although apparently her sweet to me nor did my
but I I'll go to stop stop
oh my god the tearful apologies I'm SMU I'm those are
yeah doctor baby you called the Emcore
JS you didn't say anything wrong with the baby
as I said then I would have added the line hey got a blister on the family
for w/black it that's great other men they would fall outside the box a little
but they went outside of
you know what their promoter with which is white folks good for them right
but you ain't nobody thought the you're going after their family
it's all fake outrage in for you to feed into it it doesn't help
it hurts and I'm so tired and I guarantee you the conversation that had
management had with Melissa harris-perry was a dime in the family
nano people inside the cocktail circuit we don't talk about each other's
families okay
so I need you to step away and give me one more over-the-top apology
which she did which is obviously heartfelt I shouldn't take that crying
right
but its it it makes me wanna cry every time I see MSNBC apologize like that
