ABC News correspondents were slammed for their on-air speculation about President Donald Trump during former President George H.W. Bush’s funeral this week. One critic described the move as “despicable garbage” during a time of mourning.

“Probably a different tone in that [President Trump’s] funeral… first he’s going to choreograph it, so there might be more trumpets and fanfare,” ABC chief foreign correspondent Terry Moran said on-air. ABC correspondent Devin Dwyer, who was President Obama’s off-air reporter for ABC News in 2012, added: “Yes, he would do it bigger, one would imagine,” according to TheWrap.
