ABC News has suspended veteran correspondent Terry Moran after he wrote a late-night social media post criticizing President Donald Trump and his deputy chief of staff, Stephen Miller.

In the since-deleted Saturday night X post, Moran slammed Miller, saying he’s “a man who is richly endowed with the capacity for hatred,” and called President Trump a “world-class hater.” A spokesperson for ABC News confirmed Miller’s suspension to Entertainment Weekly on Sunday.

“ABC News stands for objectivity and impartiality in its news coverage and does not condone subjective personal attacks on others,” the spokesperson said. “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.”

According to screenshots shared on social media, Moran’s since-deleted X post read: “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 continued, “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.”

He then addressed the president, writing, “Trump is a world-class hater. But his hatred [is] only a means to an end, and that end is his own glorification. That’s his spiritual nourishment.”

Though Moran deleted the post soon after sharing it, he was swiftly and harshly condemned by Trump administration officials, including Miller, who argued that the “public meltdown” will inspire further distrust when it comes to “corporate press in America.”

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt weighed in as well, publicly calling for ABC to discipline Moran.

“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,” she wrote on X. “We have reached out to ABC to inquire about how they plan to hold Terry accountable.”

Moran — who landed a rare Oval Office interview with Trump in April — has been with ABC News since 1997, covering major events including the Iraq war, 9/11, and multiple presidential elections.
