What BBN said about it

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorTonight the New York Times traces the steep rise and sudden fall of Kimberly Guilfoyle, whom President Trump cut loose after damaging news reports about her tenure as ambassador to Greece.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorI have to push back here, this is being mischaracterized.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorShe is simply between chapters, and I'm giving it a handshake grade of B-plus for how politely everyone could still greet each other at a wedding.

Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistA B-plus? Vera, the reports were damaging and she's been cut loose. That's a front moving in, and Athens never saw it coming.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorLet me finish. She says she'll fight to defend her reputation, and that is what healing looks like in a blazer.

Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistHealing! Nobody gets healed in the Aegean, it's all gusts and gossip.

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorGentlemen, and Vera, we know the reports were damaging and we know she is fighting back.

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorEverything else tonight is a guess in a good suit.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorA guess with a vision for her future, Gloria.

Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistAnd I'll tell you what the reports were. Pressure systems, Gloria.

Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistRolling in from the south, and everybody on that embassy terrace was holding a paper umbrella.

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorI have watched an ambassador leave a post over a seating chart. The ballot is still the only request line that works, and tonight nobody is picking up.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorSo A-minus on the handshake, then.

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorVera, nobody is shaking anything.
