Overview

  • Terry Moran described Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller and President Trump as “world-class haters” in a since-deleted social media message claiming Miller’s animus fuels policy.
  • An ABC News spokesperson said the post violated the network’s objectivity and impartiality standards and announced Moran’s suspension pending further evaluation.
  • White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt labeled Moran’s rhetoric “unhinged and unacceptable” and pressed ABC to take disciplinary action.
  • Vice President JD Vance defended Miller’s integrity, shared a screenshot of Moran’s post, and urged ABC to apologize for the “disgraceful” remarks.
  • The disciplinary move highlights ongoing tensions between ABC News and the Trump administration, which includes a $15 million defamation settlement last December.
