Ex-ABC News Reporter Claims Network Broke Deal Following Stephen Miller Controversy

Ousted ABC News correspondent Terry Moran said he was completely sober before writing his infamous post bashing Trump aide Stephen Miller — and claimed the network broke an agreement to re-sign him after the ensuing firestorm, according to a report.

Moran, in his first interview since being canned last week, told the New York Times, “It wasn’t a drunk tweet.”

“I wrote it, and I said, ‘That’s true,’” according to the interview published Monday.

The veteran newsman called the deputy White House chief of staff “a world-class hater” in an early-morning post on X on June 8.

“The thing about Stephen Miller is not that he is the brains behind Trumpism … 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. He’s a world-class hater. You can see this just by looking at him because you can see that his hatreds are his spiritual nourishment. He eats his hate. 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 railed.

Some speculated that Moran’s scathing social media screed in the wee hours may have been alcohol-induced.

Moran, 65, shot down that line of thinking, telling the Times during a Zoom call that it came after a “normal family night.”
