NEW YORK (AP) 鈥� ABC News has suspended correspondent Terry Moran for calling Trump administration deputy chief of staff a 鈥渨orld class hater鈥� in a since-deleted social media post.
Moran's post was swiftly condemned by officials in the Republican administration, including Vice President J.D. Vance. ABC News, in a statement, said it 鈥渟tands for objectivity and impartiality in its news coverage and does not condone subjective personal attacks on others.鈥�
The New York-based network said Moran was suspended pending further evaluation.
Moran, who a few weeks ago, said in his post on X at 12:06 a.m. on Sunday that the president was a world-class hater, too. But he wrote that for the president, his hatred is a means to an end, 鈥渁nd that end is his own glorification.鈥�
For Miller, Moran's post said, 鈥渉is hatreds are his spiritual nourishment. He eats his hate.鈥�
Vance, on X, said that Moran's post was 鈥渄ripping with hatred.鈥� The vice president wrote: 鈥淩emember that every time you watch ABC's coverage of the Trump administration.鈥�
Miller, on X, said Moran's 鈥渇ull public meltdown鈥� exposed the corporate press. 鈥淔or decades, the privileged anchor and reporters narrating and gatekeeping our society have been radicals adopting a journalist's pose. Terry pulled off his mask.鈥�
