ABC News said that he had suspended the main national correspondent Terry Moran on a post X Night, since deleted, attacking the head of Trump administration, Stephen Miller, like a “world class hate”.
“ABC News represents objectivity and impartiality in its coverage of news and does not tolerate subjective personal attacks against others,” said a spokesperson for the network. “The post does not reflect the views of ABC News and violated our standards – as a result, Terry Moran was suspended while awaiting a more in -depth assessment.”
The best officials of the Trump administration called the X Post on Sunday morning, the press secretary Karoline Leavitt saying that the network should keep him “responsible” and vice-president JD Vance asking for an apology.
The position at 12:06 pm called Stephen Miller, Trump’s assistant staff chief, “world-class hateful”.
“You can see him just looking at him because you can see that his hatred is his spiritual food. He eats his hatred.”
“Trump is a world class hate. But his hatred is only a means for an end, and this end is his own glorification. It is his spiritual food.”
Even if the position has already been deleted, Leavitt reported the position on Sunday morning and wrote: “This is disadvantaged and unacceptable. We contacted @ABC to find out how they plan to hold Terry responsible. ”
Miller himself wrote on X Sunday morning: “The most important fact about Terry’s complete public merger is what he shows about the corporate press in America. For decades, the anchors and privileged journalists telling and guardian our company adopted radicals by adopting the installation of a journalist. Terry withdrew his mask. “
Vice-president JD Vance also weighed, writing that the Moran post was a “Miller’s vile smear”.
“In this case, I know Stephen very well. And he is motivated by the love of the country. He is motivated by the fear of people like Terry Moran establish rules that normal Americans must follow, but well -connected people do not do it,” wrote Vance. “This is why he fought so hard to ensure that President Trump was elected and why he works hard to implement the agenda. ABC should apologize to Stephen. What Terry posted is shameful.”
The position appeared on the Moran account a few hours after Trump deployed 2,000 troops of the National Guard in Los Angeles to respond to the demonstrations against ice raids in southern California. Governor Gavin Newsom opposed deployment as “deliberately inflammatory”.
Moran sat with Trump for an oval office interview in April to mark the president’s first 100 days. Trump has sometimes become a test with Moran, while the ABC News correspondent pressed him on his assertion that a photo of Kilmar Abrego Garcia actually showed him with tattoos “MS-13”. But these letters had been superimposed on the photos as a way to allege that other symbols on the Garcia joints meant that he had the affiliation of the gangs.
Fierce, Trump’s interview was not with ABC News News from the world tonight Anchor David Muir. Muir, with Linsey Davis, moderated the presidential debate last September, and Trump and his allies attacked the network when the duo sometimes checked some of Trump’s claims. A conservative group filed a complaint with the FCC on what they alleged was the “debate bias” of the network.

In fact, a civil jury found that Trump was responsible for sexually abuse and the defamation of the writer E. Jean Carroll, although the judge in the case concluded that the conclusion of the jury “does not mean that she has not proven that Mr. Trump“ via her “because many people generally understand the word” rape “. “.
However, while Trump was preparing to go back to the functions, the network settled the case, with a payment of $ 15 million going to the expected Trump presidential library and another million dollars in lawyer fees.
Trump continued to attack the network, even suggesting additional disputes. Last month, he made a triad on network reports on the donation of Qatar of an airplane 747-8 to use as Air Froce One and was then transferred to the Trump Presidential Library Foundation.
Moran joined ABC News in 1997.
