This ABC correspondent, Terry Moran, who has been suspended. This decision follows as the network continues to assess his racially charged social media post. The incident occurred early Sunday morning when Moran took to X, formerly known as Twitter, at 12:06 a.m. to express his views on President Donald Trump and former White House advisor Stephen Miller. In his now-deleted LinkedIn screed, he denounced both of them as world-class haters.
The New York-based network acted swiftly in response to Moran’s comments, which sparked significant backlash from political figures and commentators alike. Moran’s post drew immediate attention and condemnation. Stephen Miller, in a pointed rebuttal on X, characterized Moran’s remarks as a “full public meltdown,” suggesting that the correspondent had exposed the corporate press’s biases.
Senator Miller’s rebuke was joined by Vice President J.D. Vance, who criticized Moran’s statements on social media. He responded to Moran’s comments by calling them “dripping with hatred.” Vance’s remarks further amplified the controversy surrounding Moran’s post and its implications for media professionals engaging publicly with political figures.
“his hatreds are his spiritual nourishment. He eats his hate.” – Stephen Miller
Even more striking is the timing of Moran’s comments given that before the incident, he had just recently interviewed President Trump. The suspension reportedly reflects ABC News’ commitment to professionalism and impartiality on the part of its correspondents.
The network has not announced how long the suspension will continue. They’ve failed to set forth what additional review will take place in relation to Moran’s behavior as the case develops.
As the situation develops, the network has not disclosed how long the suspension will last or what further evaluations will be conducted regarding Moran’s conduct.
