'Class act': A gracious Mitt Romney responds to MSNBC's mockery of his grandson; Update: Video added

This morning on “Fox News Sunday,” Mitt Romney addressed MSNBC host Melissa Harris-Perry’s latest apology for hosting a panel mocking his adopted grandson. And as usual, he kept it classy:

.@MittRomney on MSNBC mocking: People make mistakes, they made a big mistake, and they've apologized, I’m going to move on #FNS

Mitt Romney, on @FoxNewsSunday, had little to say about MSNBC hit on his family. "They apologized for it, and that's all you can ask for."

However, he was careful to stress the importance of leaving politicians’ children out of the mud:

.@MittRomney on MSNBC mocking: People like me are fair targets, but kids are out of line #FNS

We hope MSNBC was paying especially close attention to that bit.

@brianstelter @FoxNewsSunday @MSNBC While I've never been a big @MittRomney fan, I commend him taking the high road on the senseless attack.
