Rep. Tim Huelskamp (R-KS), responding to the #MyRightWingBiracialFamily hashtag that exploded after MSNBC’s hateful tweet about the Right and biracial families, tweeted this wonderful photo of his family:
It’s official–my ‘right-wing’ kids like the ad @MSNBC I think we know who the real bigots are. http://t.co/j4vMCOIbCS pic.twitter.com/mi5cGyc1kP

Many of the comments about Huelskamp’s photo were complimentary, but one vile respondent accused him of “borrowing” a black family:

Though that was the most hateful and idiotic comment, it didn’t stop there:

So now you’re bigoted for simply showing a picture of your family? If it contributes to destroying a bogus lib stereotype of the Right, absolutely.
@CongHuelskamp @msnbc Seriously? Why bring your family into this? What are you trying to prove? No reason for this. It wasn't about you.

A tweet from MSNBC claims the Right doesn’t like biracial families, and Rep. Huelskamp (and many others) had to go ruin the lie with pictures. How dare they!
