From the September 16 edition of CNN’s Legal View with Ashleigh Banfield:

ASHLEIGH BANFIELD (HOST): Nor did [Donald Trump] want to go on longer than about 27 seconds, and by the way, I'm going to ask our producers if they could actually time it out. Because I just had to do it on the fly. Not expecting it was going to be such a short comment. Fully expecting he was going to wax a little more on it, maybe even say, “I was wr --” like Fonzie or maybe say, “I'm” -- maybe say, “I'm sorry.” We didn't get any of that, we didn’t get any of that. We got 27 seconds of, “The guy was born in the U.S.” Well thanks. Eight years of being a president, it's nice to know he was a citizen and that he actually aligned with the Constitution. Real quickly, other than that 27 seconds, can you just give me the last 24 hours of this birther crap?

Five minutes and 56 seconds into the controversy of me saying that this took 27 seconds, I am going to admit publicly on national television that I was wrong. I was wrong and I am sorry. Because if you include the pauses -- it was 33 seconds. I am sorry for having said something wrong on national television about what someone said about someone else not being a citizen, yet serving as president. The joke is over.
