Donald Trump Warns Netflix Over Board Member Susan Rice
Former President Donald Trump has recently issued warnings to Netflix, threatening that the streaming giant could face “consequences” if it does not take action against board member Susan Rice. Rice has previously served in the Obama and Biden administrations, and her comments on a recent podcast have drawn the ire of Trump and his supporters.
Susan Rice’s Controversial Podcast Appearance
Susan Rice recently appeared on a podcast hosted by Preet Bharara, where she made comments that have been seen as controversial by some. She suggested that companies that “kneel to Trump” may find themselves “caught with more than their pants down”. These comments have sparked a wave of reactions, particularly from the right-wing sphere.
Laura Loomer’s Accusations and Netflix’s Potential Merger with Warner Bros.
Right-wing influencer and conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer was quick to respond to Rice’s podcast appearance. She accused Rice of “threatening half the country with armed government and political retaliation.” Loomer also pointed out that Netflix, where Rice serves on the board, was in talks to merge with Warner Bros.
Trump’s Reaction and Accusations of Political Persecution
Donald Trump has long promoted the narrative that he is a victim of political persecution, suggesting that the Democrats have used the government and the Justice Department to target their perceived enemies. He seized on Loomer’s post to continue this narrative, stating that “Netflix should IMMEDIATELY fire racist Trump upset Susan Rice or face the consequences.”
As of now, Netflix has not responded to Trump’s comments. Given the complexity and potential implications of the situation, it remains to be seen how this will unfold. It is clear, however, that this is yet another chapter in the ongoing political discourse surrounding Trump, his administration, and his influence.
