MSNBC host Melissa Harris-Perry offered an apology to the Romney family on Tuesday after a panel on her show mocked the fact that one of Mitt Romney's grandchildren was black.

Early Tuesday morning, Harris-Perry tweeted an apology. She noted that she comes from a mixed-race family, and that she felt "familiarity" with the photograph.

Somewhere I saw her statement called a "truth bomb".
As distasteful as it was, it exposed her. It's good to have her exposed. She's vile.
And really, this didn't touch the Romney family. I believe that they embraced that child before the adoption was final and were aware that mean people would mock them. Mean people do things like that. But they love the child above anyone's idiotic opinion.
Harris-Perry didn't harm them. She harmed herself.
