Terry Moran's Trump, Miller Criticism Sparks Outrage
ABC News correspondent Terry Moran is under fire after a series of now-deleted social media posts criticizing former President Donald Trump and senior advisor Stephen Miller.
White House Response
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt publicly condemned Moran's remarks. She described the posts as "unhinged and unacceptable" and stated that the White House has contacted ABC News to inquire about potential disciplinary action. She stated the posts were a "rampage" against Miller and called Trump a "world class hater."
Moran's Criticisms
Moran's posts criticized Miller's perceived animosity and ideological influence. He also claimed that Trump’s antagonism primarily served to enhance his self-image. While the posts were quickly deleted, screenshots circulated widely online. Vice President JD Vance called Moran’s remarks “an absolutely vile smear of Stephen Miller.”
Background Context
The heated exchange occurred as Trump ordered the deployment of 2,000 National Guard troops to Los Angeles amid escalating unrest near Paramount, California, related to border patrol operations. Stephen Miller, known for his hardline stance on immigration, characterized the demonstrations as an “insurrection.” This incident comes after ABC’s recent $15 million defamation settlement with Trump over comments about the E. Jean Carroll case.
