What is it about diverse Republican families which causes the left to short-circuit?
A writer for MTV News came under fire on Tuesday after joking that Sen. Jeff Sessions, the attorney general nominee, kidnapped an Asian child from a local Toys R Us to use as a prop at his Senate confirmation hearing.
“Sessions, sir, kindly return this Asian baby to the Toys ‘R’ Us you stole her from,” Ira Madison III, a cultural writer for MTV News, wrote in a now deleted tweet.
The child is Sessions’ biological granddaughter. His family had accompanied him to his confirmation hearing.
While I would ordinarily try to leave children out of a political controversy, I left this kid in…because cute!
In 2013, Melissa Harris-Perry used Mitt Romney’s grandchild as a butt of a joke in the same way.
Attention left-wing writers and pundits: Conservative white folks love their children and grandchildren. When I have grand kids, I won’t care if they’re gay, black, mixed race or liberal. Oh, maybe the liberal thing would cause a twinge. I’d get over it.
Just as long as they are not as stupid as Ira Madison III.
That tweet says something else negative about the idiot tweeter in that he refers to the girl as a doll, not a real human being. If she was African American I don’t think good ol’ Ira would be making cracks about returning her to Toys R Us.
