BERG: Er…Ms. Silberman. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

SILBERMAN: [visibly searching for name<\/em>] . Er – hello, Merg. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

BERG: So – any comment about the allegations against Ralph “Satchmo” Northam? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

SILBERMAN: In these inflammatory situations and divided times, it’s a journalist’s responsibility to make sure they get the facts straight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

BERG: OK. So – Brent Kavanaugh…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SILBERMAN: [Abruptly screams, face red with rage] WE ALWAYS #BELIEVEWOMEN, YOU SON OF A BITCH!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BERG: Huh. So – Democrat governor Northam…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SILBERMAN: [Abruptly calm again<\/em>] Get the facts…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BERG: Northam, Ellison, Clinton…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SILBERMAN: [Abruptly calm again<\/em>] We can’t report a story where we’re not absolutely sure…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SILBERMAN: [Enraged again<\/em>] . WHITE! MAGA! THE…SMIRK! I JUST WANT TO BURN THAT KID’S FACE OFF!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SILBERMAN: Rehabilitated from what?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BERG: Er…yeah. Exactly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
