The White House fired Sunday after ABC news correspondent Terry Moran, after Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller and President Donald Trump in now-deleted social media posts, said they both called them “world-class” haters.
“Miller is a person with hatred power. He is a world-class hater,” Moran wrote in the now-deleted post. “You can see this by looking at him because you can see that his hatred is his spiritual nourishment. He ate hatred.”
“Trump is a world-class hatred. But his hatred is only [sic] The means to achieve his goal ended[sic] His own glory. That was his spiritual nourishment,” Moran continued.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt responded to X's post Sunday, calling it “irrelevant and unacceptable.”

Leavitt also joined Fox News' “Sunday Morning Futures” and told host Maria Bartiromo that Moran should be “an impartial and professional journalist.”
“This is someone who works on major TV networks, and it's unacceptable and irrelevant remarks,” Leavitt added. “We've been in contact with the ABC and they say they'll take action, so we'll see their work. But I think it shows the distrust of the American public in traditional media.”
Miller also responded to Moran’s comments on Sunday.
“The most important fact about Terry's total collapse is what it shows about corporate press in the United States. For decades, the privileged hosts and journalists who narrate and protect our society have been in the pose of journalists. Terry took off his mask,” Miller wrote.
Vice President JD Vance also called Moran on Sunday and said the position was “full of hatred.”
“Remember, whenever you watch ABC's coverage of the Trump administration,” Vance added.
ABC News did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Moran interviewed the president after the 100th day of the office, during which Trump called on ABC correspondents to ask.
Trump accused Moran of being “not very good” in exchange for illegal immigrants Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
“They bring you a big breakthrough in your life,” Trump told Moran. “You're in an interview, I chose you because frankly, I've never heard of you, but that's OK. I chose you, Terry, but you're not very good.”
Moran also put pressure on Trump on his relationship with Russia's Vladimir Putin.
Trump replied: “I don't trust you. I don't trust a lot of people.” “I don't trust you. Look at you. You're happy to have an interview and then you start hitting me with these fake questions.”

The president also attacked former President Joe Biden in the interview.
“Our president is very incompetent,” Trump said. “You know. I know. Everyone knows. You don't want to write about fake news.”

He added: “By the way, ABC is one of the worst situations and I have to be honest with you.”
