UPDATE: MSNBC has deleted the tweet and apologized:
Earlier, this account tweeted an offensive line about the new Cheerios ad. We deeply regret it. It does not reflect the position of msnbc.

Since they deleted their tweet, I’ve posted a screenshot below that I took in the event that happened.
Also, to their apology I call BS. This stuff keeps happening with them, over and over. And yet they want conservatives to believe that it doesn’t reflect who they are? Are they kidding?

Normally you’d expect something like this from one of the liberal hosts on MSNBC, during a show. But now the main MSNBC twitter account is calling conservatives racist:
Here’s the Cheerios video so you won’t have to click MSNBC’s link:
Michelle Malkin is furious and had been hitting back hard against the ‘news’ organization:
Self-unaware overload: @msnbc ,which mocked Romney biracial family, sez "rightwing will hate" #cheerios biracial ad. https://t.co/lftwyfCH3N

Hi @msnbc cretins: I am "rightwing" & my kids are biracial. Take your self-righteous hatred & shove it. RT if you agree!

Progressives of pallor at @msnbc snicker at "rightwing" biracial families, degrade biracial adoptees, then accuse US of racism. #ENOUGH

Hey, coward who published racist, sanctimonious @msnbc tweet smearing conservatives & "rightwing" biracial families: Show yourself. Own it.
