The Hill:

An MTV News host and writer was widely criticized online after he mocked the Asian-American grandchildren of Donald Trump’s attorney general nominee, Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.), in a series of tweets on Tuesday.

Ira Madison, an African-American culture writer for MTV News and host of the channel’s “Speed Dial,” accused Sessions of showcasing his grandchildren at a Senate confirmation hearing on Capitol Hill to avoid being labeled a racist.

“The opinions Ira expresses on Twitter are his own and do not reflect the views of MTV News,” a MTV communications vice president said Tuesday.

Reaction from media members was swift:

I DONT WANT MY MTV

Liberals can be as racist as they like because, “they aren’t racist.” Any non-liberal that does things that are not racist only do so because they are racist.

This is the liberal thought process.

Typical Democrat hypocrisy. Where Democrat candidates and office holders are concerned the press insists on declaring said politician’s offspring to be “off limits”. When it is a Republican, the offspring are “fair game.”

All Democrats should be ashamed, and condemn such disgusting behavior by the press.
