Social Media Reacts To Terry Moran's Suspension Over 'Hater' Post
Social media users called out ABC News over its suspension of senior national correspondent Terry Moran after he posted on social media that White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller is a “world-class hater.”
“In my opinion, Terry Moran went EASY on Stephen Miller,” one social media user wrote, comparing the anti-immigration crusader with Nazi propaganda mastermind Joseph Goebbels. “I’ve seen much worse shit from [Sean] Hannity, Laura Ingraham, and the rest of the Fox News clowns about people on the left. … Stephen Miller is a garbage person who wears his hatred on his sleeve, you don’t need to dig deep for his inner Goebbels.”
