By Meghan Keneally PUBLISHED: 16:06 EST, 30 January 2014 | UPDATED: 16:59 EST, 30 January 2014 The head of the Republican National Committee has urged GOP officials to avoid appearances on MSNBC because the network posted a Tweet saying that conservatives would be upset by a commercial featuring a biracial family. The commercial in question is an ad for Cheerios which will run during the Super Bowl, and it will star the same biracial family that was used in one of the company's previous ads. MSNBC posted a message to Twitter late on Wednesday night that read: 'Maybe the rightwing will hate it, but everyone else will go awww: the adorable new #Cheerios ad w/ biracial family' and then added a link to their story with an embeded version of the ad.
