Terry Moran, a broadcast journalist who was fired from ABC News in June after posting a message on X referring to top White House adviser Stephen Miller as a "world-class hater," blasted his old employer this week for "failing the American people."

Moran posted to social media, "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. It's not the brains. It's the bile. Miller is a man who is richly endowed with the capacity for hatred. He's a world-class hater."

Moran joined "In Good Faith with Philip DeFranco" on Thursday to talk about Trump 2.0. When asked if he knew the post would put his job at risk, Moran said he wouldn't have made the post if he knew he'd get fired.

"But I did think I'd get in trouble and good trouble," he said, noting he had earned a reputation of challenging the network's coverage — including advocating for more coverage of President Joe Biden's age and fairer coverage of President Donald Trump.
