ABC News suspends correspondent Terry Moran following ‘full public meltdown’ against top Trump advisor: ‘Terry pulled off his mask’
ABC News correspondent Terry
Moran was suspended from the network on Sunday after ranting about
President Donald Trump’s Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, prompting
backlash from the administration.
Moran’s now-deleted X post characterized Miller as “bile” and a “world-class hater.”
“The thing about Stephen Miller is not that he is the brains behind
Trumpism. Yes, he is one of the people who conceptualizes the impulses
of the Trumpist movement and translates them into policy. But that’s not
what’s interesting about Miller. It’s not brains. It’s bile,” he wrote.
“Miller is a man who is richly endowed with the capacity for hatred.
He’s a world-class hater. You can see this just by looking at him
because you can see that his hatreds are his spiritual nourishment. He
eats his hate. Trump is a world-class hater. But his hatred only a means
to an end, and that end [is] his own glorification. That’s his
spiritual nourishment,” he added.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt swiftly responded to
Moran’s post, calling his behavior “unhinged and unacceptable.”
“Last night, in a since deleted post, so-called ‘journalist’
@TerryMoran went on a rampage against Stephen Miller and called
President Trump ‘ a world class hater.’ This is unhinged and
unacceptable. We have reached out to @ABC to inquire about how they plan
to hold Terry accountable,” he wrote, attaching a screenshot of Moran’s
since-deleted post.

Miller also responded to Moran’s post, pointing out the biased nature
of the mainstream media’s reporting while characterizing Moran as a
“radical adopting a journalist’s pose.”
“The most important fact about Terry’s full public meltdown is what
it shows about the corporate press in America. For decades, the
privileged anchors and reporters narrating and gatekeeping our society
have been radicals adopting a journalist’s post. Terry pulled off his
mask,” Miller wrote.
ABC News responded to an inquiry into the matter by CNN, stating: “ABC News
stands for objectivity and impartiality in its news coverage and does
not condone subjective personal attacks on others. The post does not
reflect the news of ABC News and violated our standards – as a result, Terry Moran has been suspended pending further evaluation.”
Moran previously interviewed President Trump in April where he
questioned the president’s decision to deport reported MS-13 member
Kilmar Abrego Garcia to El Salvador.
Moran’s suspension followed after the network agreed to pay $15
million to settle a defamation lawsuit filed by President Trump after ABC’s
George Stephanopoulos claimed that Trump was found liable for the
“rape” for E. Jean Carroll – which Trump has consistently denied – and
has never been found criminally liable for.
