Trump threatens Netflix with ‘consequences’ over Rice board seat


Donald Trump called on Netflix to fire board member Susan Rice or “pay the consequences,” after she said that Democrats would take action against corporations that “take a knee” to the president. Rice, who was former President Barack Obama’s national security adviser and United Nations ambassador and also served in Joe Biden’s White House, said on a podcast that corporations, news organizations and law firms that went along with Trump’s demands for loyalty now see their actions were unpopular. Trump didn’t specify in his social media post what “consequences” the streaming giant might face, but Trump has criticized other networks for content he doesn’t like and Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr has threatened networks’ broadcast licenses.
