ABC News’s senior national correspondent Terry Moran is taking heat for a social media post smearing White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller.
UPDATE: ABC News announced Sunday that Moran has been suspended. The company said in a release:
ABC News stands for objectivity and impartiality in its news coverage and does not condone subjective personal attacks on others. … 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’s lengthy post also criticized President Donald Trump, the New York Post reported Sunday.
“The thing about Stephen Miller is not that he is the brains behind Trumpism. Yes, he is one of the people who conceptualizes the impulses of the Trumpist movement and translates them into policy. But that’s not what’s interesting about Miller,” Moran said:
It’s not brains. It’s bile. Miller is a man who is richly endowed with the capacity for hatred. He’s a world-class hater. You can see this just by looking at him because you can see that his hatreds are his spiritual nourishment. He eats his hate. Trump is a world-class hater. But his hatred only a means to an end, and that end his his own glorification. That’s his spiritual nourishment.
