"President Donald Trump has warned Netflix to remove former US ambassador and national security advisor Susan Rice from its board "or pay the consequences." The stakes are high for Netflix: It's in the middle of trying to execute a mega-deal to buy Warner Bros. Rice, who served in senior roles in the Obama and Biden administrations, was sharply critical of Trump's second term in office when she appeared on the "Stay Tuned with Preet Bharara" podcast in an episode published on Thursday."
"When it comes to the elites, you know, the corporate interests, the law firms, the universities, the media, I agree with you, Preet, it is not, it's not going to end well for them. For those that decided that it was, you know, that they would act in their perceived very narrow self-interest, which I would underscore is very short-term self-interest, and, you know, take a knee to Trump, I think they're now starting to realize, 'Wait a minute, you know, this is not popular'"
Donald Trump demanded that Netflix remove Susan Rice from its board and warned of consequences after her critical remarks. Netflix is negotiating a major acquisition of Warner Bros., heightening the stakes of any board controversy. Rice served in senior Obama and Biden administration roles and criticized Trump's second term, particularly corporate actors that "take a knee to Trump." Rice warned that corporations acting in short-term self-interest could face retribution under a future Democratic administration. Far-right activist Laura Loomer alerted Trump to Rice's comments, prompting a social media post questioning Rice's qualifications and compensation and calling her a "political hack."
