Tell Netflix: Don’t Bow to Trump
President Trump is pressuring Netflix to remove former Ambassador Susan Rice from its board — and warning of “consequences” if it doesn’t.
According to CNBC, The Hill, and The New York Times, President Trump is pressuring Netflix to remove former Ambassador Susan Rice from its board after she criticized corporations that bend the knee to him, and said that Trump wasn’t popular. At the same time, Trump’s Department of Justice is reviewing Netflix’s proposed acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery — a deal that requires federal approval.
Business Insider reports that experts say this level of presidential involvement in a corporate takeover is unprecedented.
If Netflix caves, it sends a chilling message to every corporation in America: criticize Trump and pay the price.
The DOJ’s decision could come at any time. That’s why we’re calling on Netflix’s leadership — Ted Sarandos, Greg Peters, and Reed Hastings — to stand firm and keep Susan Rice on the board.
Thanks,
Mary
