Social media users called out ABC News over its suspension of senior national correspondent Terry Moran after he posted on social media that White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller is a “world-class hater.”
“In my opinion, Terry Moran went EASY on Stephen Miller,” one social media user wrote, comparing the anti-immigration crusader with Nazi propaganda mastermind Joseph Goebbels. “I’ve seen much worse shit from [Sean] Hannity, Laura Ingraham, and the rest of the Fox News clowns about people on the left. ... Stephen Miller is a garbage person who wears his hatred on his sleeve, you don’t need to dig deep for his inner Goebbels.”

ABC News announced Sunday that it was suspending Moran “pending further evaluation” after Moran wrote in a since-deleted post that Miller was a “world-class hater” and “richly endowed with the capacity for hatred.” He put President Donald Trump in the same class, saying “Trump is a world-class hater. But his hatred only a means to an end, and that end his his own glorification.”
In a statement, ABC News said it stands for “objectivity and impartiality” and doesn’t 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,” ABC News said in a statement provided to HuffPost.

ABC News previously folded to pressure from Trump, donating $15 million to his presidential library to settle a lawsuit over anchor George Stephanopoulos saying the president was found civilly liable for rape. The settlement was widely panned by news media experts.
Social media users were quick to point out the absurdity of suspending Moran over calling Miller, the man who has been credited with Trump’s anti-immigration policies, a hater.

Terry Moran said nothing wrong. Shame on ABC for suspending him for merely telling the truth. https://t.co/0gmPuJmfc0
— Jeremy Fassler (@J_fassler) June 8, 2025
Announcement of Moran’s suspension came just hours after White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said on Fox News that the White House reached out to ABC News about Moran’s post, adding ABC News would “have to answer” for it. Vice President JD Vance said the social media post was an “absolutely vile smear” of Miller.
