Shortly after MSNBC host Melissa Harris-Perry offered an emotional apology Saturday for a segment about Mitt Romney’s adopted black grandson, a top adviser to the 2012 GOP presidential nominee reacted with a tone of understanding.
“I believe positive can come from these things,” Stuart Steven wrote on Twitter, adding “we all make mistakes.”
“Here’s to many wonderful adoptions in 2014.”
I believe positive can come from these things; @MHarrisPerry apologized; we all make mistakes. Here’s to many wonderful adoptions in 2014.

Harris-Perry was teary-eyed on Saturday when she apologized on the air for last weekend’s segment, during which a pair of her guests made jokes about the race of Romney’s grandson, Kieran. It was the second time Harris-Perry apologized for the segment.
Mitt Romney is expected to address the controversy when he appears on Fox News Channel on Sunday morning.
