I watched this interview and I felt like she handled the question well. She actually mentioned some very strong things about her background and demonstrated no signs of "flakiness" when responding. However, it appears many viewers and even some of Wallace's colleagues didn't appreciate the question. I thought the question was fine, she has made some outrageous claims and many people do think this (me included), but it was framed improperly.
Wallace felt compelled to release this statement and apology about the question. That he felt the need to apologize isn't that concerning but I'm not sure he apologized for the right thing. It seems he's apologizing for asking the question and not the way in which he asked it.
I dont think isaw anything in the background, but I think below the frame she was using her hands to gesture as she answered the question.
