Vice President JD Vance lit into ABC national correspondent Terry Moran Sunday for attacking White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy Stephen Miller in a now-deleted post on X.

Moran labeled Miller “a world-class hater” in a rant posted on X early Sunday morning. Vance posted a screenshot of Moran’s tweet when he responded to the “vile smear.” (RELATED: Trump Deploys National Guard To Blue City)

“An ABC journalist, @TerryMoran, posted this absolutely vile smear of Stephen Miller. It’s dripping with hatred,” Vance said. “Remember that every time you watch ABC’s coverage of the Trump administration.”

ABC did not immediately respond to a request for comment from the Daily Caller News Foundation.

“As it happens, I know Stephen quite well. And he’s motivated by love of country. He’s motivated by a fear that people like Terry Moran make rules that normal Americans have to follow, but well-connected people don’t,” Vance continued. “It’s why he fought so hard to get President Trump elected and why he works to [sic] hard to implement the agenda. ABC should apologize to Stephen. What Terry posted is disgraceful.”

Moran previously demanded Trump call El Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele to bring Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an alleged MS-13 member, back to the United States. Abrego Garcia has returned to the United States in order to face charges in federal court for human trafficking.

The corporate media network has also been the target of a major defamation lawsuit.

ABC settled a defamation lawsuit filed by President Donald Trump after “This Week” host George Stephanopoulos called Trump a “rapist” during a contentious interview with Republican Rep. Nancy Mace of South Carolina.
