"In a post on Truth Social, Trump demanded that Netflix "immediately terminate" Rice from its board of directors, "or pay the consequences," amplifying a message from right-wing activist Laura Loomer. Loomer had urged action against Rice, criticizing her role at the company and pointing to recent remarks she made about Trump and corporate America. Rice, who served in senior roles in the Obama and Biden administrations, recently warned companies against aligning themselves too closely with Trump."
"Speaking on Thursday on the "Stay Tuned with Preet Bharara" podcast, she said corporations that "take a knee" to the presidentand break the law should expect consequences, predicting an "accountability agenda" if Democrats take back power. The clash comes as the streaming giant pursues a high-stakes merger that will require approval from the Department of Justice's antitrust division. Trump in December said that Netflix had a "very big market share," so its potential acquisition of Warner Bros. "could be a problem.""
President Donald Trump urged Netflix to remove Susan Rice from its board and warned the company would face consequences if it did not comply. The call echoed activist Laura Loomer’s criticism of Rice and referenced Rice’s warnings that companies that 'take a knee' to the president and break the law should expect an 'accountability agenda' if Democrats regain power. Rice served in senior roles under the Obama and Biden administrations. The dispute arises as Netflix pursues a merger with Warner Bros. Discovery that requires approval from the Justice Department’s antitrust division, following mixed comments from Trump about the deal.
