For the life of me I cannot fathom why she allowed this discussion making fun of Mitt Romney&#8217;s adopted grandson, an African-American <em>infant<\/em> named Kieran, to make some point about the Republican Party&#8217;s difficulty with minority voters.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve long held to the belief that one should not poke fun at family members, or make fun of people&#8217;s appearance or the sound of their name.

That&#8217;s all should have mattered when MSNBC showed the photo of Mitt and Ann Romney with their grandchildren. <\/p>\n\n<div class=\"twitter-share\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?via=jkanelis\" class=\"twitter-share-button\">Tweet<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MSNBC went over the line.
