earlier i spoke with lz granderson and amy holmes about the controversy.is what mitt romney had to say. >> people make mistakes and the folks at msnbc made a big mistake and they apologized for it. and that's all you can ask for. i'm going to move on from that. i'm sure they want to move on from it. look, i've made plenty of mistakes myself. they've apologized for this. and i think we can go on from there. >> amy, the question is, is this the end? mitt romney accepted the apology? or is there more here. >> i think it is the end of the news cycle. romney was far more gracious than melissa harris-perry and her guests deserved. i watched the segment and apology yesterday. it seems to me you can't lead a racial witch hunt against a man's family and then pretend you didn't like the torch. that's what she did. she took the family photo, pointed out the black grandson sitting on mitt romney's knee. when her first panelist started calling the baby a thing she started laughing up roarusly. that's the point of the segment. her apology yesterday, i like alec baldwin'
