ABC News suspends Terry Moran after a social media rant targeting Trump advisor Stephen Miller. The White House calls Moran's remarks 'unhinged'.
ABC News has suspended senior national correspondent Terry Moran after he posted controversial comments on social media targeting Stephen Miller, a senior advisor to President Trump.
Moran's remarks on X criticized Miller's perceived hatred and Trump's motives, leading to swift condemnation. He described Miller as being "richly endowed with the capacity for hatred" and characterized Trump's actions as driven by self-glorification.
ABC News responded quickly, emphasizing its commitment to objectivity and impartiality. The network stated that Moran's posts violated their standards, resulting in his suspension pending further evaluation.
JD Vance condemned Moran's statements. The controversy unfolded amid protests in Los Angeles concerning border patrol operations, prompting the deployment of National Guard troops.
Moran is known for his outspoken views, having previously predicted Trump's victories and describing him as a nationalist. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt described the posts as unacceptable, showing the administration's concern.
