\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nIn his early morning post, Moran referred to Miller and Trump, 78, as “world-class hater[s]” in the since-deleted tweet.<\/p>\n
<\/div>\n\u201cMiller 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,” the journalist tweeted, in part.<\/p>\n
“Trump is a world-class hater. But his hatred is only a means to an end, and that end his his own glorification [sic]. That’s his spiritual nourishment,” he concluded.<\/p>\n
<\/div>\n“This is unhinged and unacceptable,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt wrote on\u00a0X<\/a>\u00a0in response, adding, “We have reached out to\u00a0@ABC<\/a>\u00a0to inquire about how they plan to hold Terry accountable.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\nABC News soon announced Moran had “been suspended pending further evaluation.”<\/p>\n
