Trump Threatens Netflix Over Susan Rice Board Seat—Boardrooms Never This Dramatic
KEY POINTS
- •Donald Trump threatened Netflix with vague 'consequences' unless they fired Susan Rice from the board.
- •Rice appeared on Preet Bharara’s podcast on September 26, warning companies about risking Trump’s wrath.
- •Right-wing influencer Laura Loomer accused Rice of threatening the public with government retaliation.
On September 26, 2023, Washington's State Department hosted Susan Rice, Netflix board member and former Obama-Biden administration star, for a portrait unveiling. Meanwhile, Donald Trump declared Netflix would face 'consequences' if they didn’t fire Rice—because nothing says business like presidential ultimatums on social boards. Rice, popping up on Preet Bharara’s podcast, warned corporations that bow to Trump would be 'caught with more than their pants down'—a phrase too vivid for Netflix's comfort. Not to be outdone, conspiracy queen Laura Loomer accused Rice of 'weaponized government retribution' for threatening half the country. Netflix's board meetings have officially entered 'Culture War: Season 2.'
