ABC News has suspended senior national correspondent Terry Moran after the network veteran called Trump administration deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller a “world-class hater.”

Moran posted on X late Saturday night and deleted it not long after.

“ABC News stands for objectivity and impartiality in its news coverage and does not condone subjective personal attacks on others,” an ABC News spokesperson tells The Hollywood Reporter. “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.”

Moran has been with ABC News since 1997, covering events like 9/11 the Iraq war and multiple presidential elections. He even interviewed President Trump in the Oval Office just over a month ago.

But after his post, White House officials, including Vice President JD Vance and Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, ripped into the journalist for his take (Leavitt called it “unhinged and unacceptable”) and demanded that ABC News take action.
