ABC News decided not to renew Terry Moran's contract after he posted a critical tweet about Stephen Miller, a former advisor to President Trump. In his tweet, Moran described Miller as a "world-class hater" and criticized Trump's motives. Despite deleting the tweet, outrage ensued from White House officials and Trump supporters, prompting an inquiry about Moran's accountability. ABC confirmed that the decision was based on Moran's violation of the network's policies regarding objectivity and impartiality.
The thing about Stephen Miller is not that he is the brains behind Trumpism. Yes, he is one of the people who conceptualizes the impulses of the Trumpist movement and translates them into policy. But that's not what's interesting about Miller. It's not brains. It's bile. Miller is a man who is richly endowed with the capacity for hatred.
Moran deleted the tweet, but that did little to quell the outrage from the White House and supporters of the president. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt tweeted that the White House had reached out to ABC News to inquire about how they plan to hold Terry accountable.
