"Donald Trump threatened that there would be 'consequences' for Netflix if it didn't fire board member Susan Rice. Rice served in both the Obama and Biden administrations, and recently appeared on Preet Bharara's podcast, where she said corporations that 'take a knee to Trump' are going to be 'caught with more than their pants down. They are going to be held accountable.'"
"Right-wing influencer and conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer was quick to jump on the appearance and accused Rice of 'threatening half the country with weaponized government and political retribution.' She also pointed out that Netflix, whose board Rice is on, is trying to merge with Warner Bros. Trump pounced on Loomer's post, adding that 'Netflix should fire racist, Trump Deranged Susan Rice, IMMEDIATELY, or pay the consequences.'"
Susan Rice, a former Obama and Biden administration official and Netflix board member, said on Preet Bharara's podcast that corporations that 'take a knee to Trump' will be 'caught with more than their pants down' and 'held accountable.' Right-wing influencer Laura Loomer accused Rice of threatening 'weaponized government and political retribution' and noted Netflix's pending merger with Warner Bros. Donald Trump amplified Loomer's post, demanding Netflix fire Rice 'IMMEDIATELY, or pay the consequences.' The demand did not specify consequences but carries an implied threat to intervene in the Warner Bros. merger, favoring Paramount instead.
