ABC Suspends Reporter Over Late-Night Screed Against Stephen Miller And Trump

ABC News Senior National Correspondent Terry Moran has been suspended as he faced intense backlash for lashing out at White House aide Stephen Miller and President Donald Trump in a late-night social media diatribe.

In a now-deleted post on X, Moran described Miller as a “world-class hater” who “eats his hate” for “spiritual nourishment.” He also Trump a “world-class hater” just months after being chided by the president during a combative interview in the Oval Office.

“ABC News stands for objectivity and impartiality in its news coverage and does not condone subjective personal attacks on others,” an ABC News spokesperson told The Daily Wire. “The post does not reflect the views of ABC News and violated our standards — as a result, Terry Moran has been suspended pending further evaluation.”

In the hours that preceded the statement, Trump administration officials and others slammed Moran and demanded accountability.

“An ABC journalist [Terry Moran] posted this absolutely vile smear of Stephen Miller. It’s dripping with hatred. Remember that every time you watch ABC’s coverage of the Trump administration,” said Vice President JD Vance.

“As it happens, I know Stephen quite well. And he’s motivated by love of country. He’s motivated by a fear that people like Terry Moran make rules that normal Americans have to follow, but well connected people don’t. It’s why he fought so hard to get President Trump elected and why he works to hard to implement the agenda. ABC should apologize to Stephen. What Terry posted is disgraceful,” Vance added.

“Last night, in a since deleted post, so-called so-called ‘journalist’ [Terry Moran] 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,” said White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt.

“This is why Americans don’t trust the Legacy Media,” said Katie Miller, who is Stephen Miller’s wife. “When masks are down you see the radical left-wing bias at [ABC]. These are the people feeding propaganda across the airwaves under the guise of righteousness. [Terry Moran] should be fired from the network immediately.”

Stephen Miller himself said: “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 pose. Terry pulled off his mask.”
