Prominent supporters President Donald Trump and MAGA influencers fired back at disgraced ABC News reporter Terry Moran on Monday after he launched a personal attack against the president and White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller.
Moran wrote on social media that the president was a ‘world class hater’ and that Miller was filled with ‘bile.’
‘You can see this just by looking at him because you can see that his hatreds are his spiritual nourishment. He eats his hate,’ Moran wrote on a since-deleted post on X about Miller.
‘Trump is a world-class hater. But his hatred is only a means to an end, and that end is his own glorification. That’s his spiritual nourishment,’ Moran continued.
Vice President JD Vance took issue with Moran for posting what he described as an ‘absolutely vile smear’ of Miller.
‘It’s dripping with hatred. Remember that every time you watch ABC’s coverage of the Trump administration,’ Vance wrote.
Vance defended Miller’s reputation, describing him as a patriot.

‘As it happens, I know Stephen quite well. And he’s motivated by love of country. He’s motivated by a fear that people like Terry Moran make rules that normal Americans have to follow, but well connected people don’t,’ Vance wrote.
ABC News suspended Moran for his comment on Sunday and he deleted his post.
‘ABC News stands for objectivity and impartiality in its news coverage and does not condone subjective personal attacks on others,’ the statement from ABC News read. ‘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.’

Vance demanded an apology.
‘ABC should apologize to Stephen. What Terry posted is disgraceful,’ he wrote.
Miller himself reacted to the post, flagging it as an insight into the overall corporate media view of President Trump.
‘The most important fact about Terry’s full public meltdown is what it shows about the corporate press in America,’ Miller wrote on social media. ‘For decades, the privileged anchors and reporters narrating and gatekeeping our society have been radicals adopting a journalist’s pose. Terry pulled off his mask.’
MAGA influencer Jack Posobiec also flagged Moran’s post, announcing he ‘was not even upset’ by the revealing post.
‘This is how just about everyone in corporate media thinks. He’s just the only one dumb enough to say it out loud,’ he wrote. ‘Clarity is good! They hate the American people, and now they can’t hide it anymore.’
Journalist Megyn Kelly expressed her disbelief at the revealing post on X.
‘Any actual news organization would fire him this minute,’ she wrote.
Kelly described Moran’s suspension as a ‘fig leaf’ and questioned the lack of an apology from Moran.
Terry Moran should be fired immediately,’ wrote Republican political consultant Alex Brueseqitz on X.
