Terry Moran was effectively dismissed from the network after calling Stephen Miller and Trump ‘world-class’ haters

A journalist who lost his job at ABC News after describing top White House aide Stephen Miller as someone “richly endowed with the capacity for hatred” has said he published that remark on social media because he felt it was “true”.

“It was something that was in my heart and mind,” the network’s former senior national correspondent Terry Moran said Monday on The Bulwark political podcast. “And I would say I used very strong language deliberately.”

Moran’s comments to Bulwark host Tim Miller about standing by his remarks came a little more than a week after he wrote on X that Stephen Miller – the architect of Donald Trump’s hardline immigration policies – “eats his hate”.

“His hatreds are his spiritual nourishment,” Moran’s post read, in part. He added that the president “is a world-class hater. But his hatred [is] only a means to an end, and that end [is] his own glorification”.

    This man speaks the truth.

      MORE journalists should be focusing on the pure evil of Stephen “PeeWee Himmler” Miller. This is the guy who wants to reduce the American population from a diverse 335 million, to a homogenous 100illion. He is HitlerPig’s most trusted advisor, someone who has been by his side from the beginning, while dozens of others have come and gone.

      He is an incredibly powerful man, and Moran was fired for simply pointing out the most basic truth about him. ABC has been my favored news source for a long time, but after this incident, and the $15 million settlement of the frivolous and vexatious Stephanopoulos Defamation case (which was nothing less than a bribe), I can’t trust their reporting anymore.
