After last night’s hateful, racist and vile tweet by MSNBC about hating biracial families (then deleting it over the backlash) Reince Priebus called a boycott of MSNBC for any GOP candidates to appear on any of their shows. MSNBC refused apologize last night to the many people they offended. But after Priebus’s call for a boycott, MSNBC President Phil Griffin forced to apologize to RNC Chairman Reince Priebus. As is typical for the weak Priebus, he accept the faux apology and has removed his ‘boycott’ of GOP candidates appearing on the hateful Comcast/NBC network.

MSNBC President Phil Griffin apologized to Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus on Thursday for a tweet suggesting conservatives “hate” interracial marriages and “dismissed” the staffer who authored it.
“The tweet last night was outrageous and unacceptable. We immediately acknowledged that it was offensive and wrong, apologized, and deleted it. We have dismissed the person responsible for the tweet,” Griffin wrote in a statement.
“I personally apologize to Mr. Priebus and to everyone offended,” he continued. “At msnbc we believe in passionate, strong debate about the issues and we invite voices from all sides to participate. That will never change.”
Earlier on Thursday, Priebus sent a letter to Griffin announcing that he would ban all staff members and surrogates from appearing on the liberal news network until Griffin personally and publicly apologized. Priebus also said he had “asked Republican surrogates and officials to follow our lead.”
If Reince Priebus had any balls, he would boycott the entire Comcast/NBC/MSNBC cabal until they apologize for the smears, lies, and vitriol they spew everyday against conservatives. But I guess this is considered a win for Priebus, as he would never have the stones to do what I suggested.
Of course, no one has been held accountable for the tweet. Whoever wrote the article hasn’t been fired. MSNBC claims the tweeter has been fired but failed to give any names.
