ABC News has opted to part ways with suspended senior national correspondent Terry Moran after his scathing rant targeted at White House advisers Stephen Miller and President Donald Trump on his X account.

An ABC News spokesperson announced that Moran's contract was set to expire and “based on his recent post — which was a clear violation of ABC News policies — we have made the decision to not renew" in a statement obtained by CNN on Tuesday (June 11).

“At ABC News, we hold all of our reporters to the highest standards of objectivity, fairness and professionalism, and we remain committed to delivering straightforward, trusted journalism,” the spokesperson added.

The decision came amid reports that staffers were "pissed" about the incident.

“He should be fired,” one ABC News insider told the newspaper on Monday (June 9). “People inside are pissed at Terry for screwing things up for the network.”

“Everything that [President] Trump has said about the media — that they are haters and they are biased — Moran proved it true,” the source added, acknowledging that journalists are expected to “check your biases at the door and only deal with the facts.”

ABC News announced Moran's suspension on Sunday (June 8).

“ABC News stands for objectivity and impartiality in its news coverage and does not condone subjective personal attacks on others. The post does not reflect the views of ABC News and violated our standards — as a result, Terry Moran has been suspended pending further evaluation,” a spokesperson for the network said in a statement to the New York Post.

Moran, who interviewed Trump in April, called Miller, who serves as the administration's deputy chief of staff for policy, "a man who is richly endowed with the capacity for hatred" before turning his attention to Trump in a lengthy since-deleted post.

“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,” Moran wrote.

“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,” he added. “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 only a means to an end, and that end his his own glorification. That’s his spiritual nourishment.”

Vice President JD Vance acknowledged Moran's rant, calling it an "absolutely vile smear of Stephen Miller" on his X account with a screengrab of the deleted post.
