what was your mistake? >> well, chris, your viewers and my constituents know i find hard, sometimes too hard. this was one of those cases. i should not have mentioned michael cohen's family if that tweet. i apologized. took it down. i'll try to do better. >> and just to be clear, there's nothing coming that you have or anybody else that you know about has about any of these suggestions you made in the tweet. >> i'm not going to discuss that because to do so would be to invoke someone's family and it's not a line i'm going to cross. my challenges with mr. cohen deal with his credibility, not his family and that's why i'm not going to go into that stuff. >> good for you, keep it clean. if you can't win the argument on the facts, you're not going to win it at all. >> i will thank you, though, chris. >> yes. >> the other cnn personalities were calling for me be arrested and imprisoned. you made the point i wasn't threatening michael cohen, i was trying to cast him in a bad light. i did so unartfully in a way i shouldn't have. i appreciate you for drawing out that distinction as don lemon was breathing in or out of a paper bag, whatever he was
