Trump calls for Netflix to fire Susan Rice after she warned corporations for bending ‘a knee’

President Trump on Saturday called on Netflix to fire former United Nations Ambassador Susan Rice from its board of directors after she warned about an “accountability agenda” if Democrats regain power in the upcoming elections.
“Netflix should fire racist, Trump Deranged Susan Rice, IMMEDIATELY, or pay the consequences. She’s got no talent or skills – Purely a political hack! HER POWER IS GONE, AND WILL NEVER BE BACK. How much is she being paid, and for what???” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post.
Rice argued during a podcast this week that corporations, media companies, law firms and universities that “take a knee” to Trump should not expect Democrats to “forgive and forget.”
“It’s not going to end well for them, for those that decided that it was, you know, that they would act in their perceived, very narrow self-interest, which I would underscore is very short-term self-interest,” she told Preet Bharara, a former U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York.
Rice suggested those entities were aware of the possibility of an electoral shift happening in the midterms, pointing to Trump’s fledgling approval ratings on the economy and immigration.
“I think they’re now starting to realize, ‘Wait a minute, you know, this is not popular. Trump is not popular.’ What he is doing, whether on the economy and affordability or on immigration, now, is not popular, and that there is likely to be a swing in the other direction, and they are going to be caught with more than their pants down. They’re going to be held accountable by those who come in opposition to Trump and win at the ballot box,” she said.
She further noted that companies were already being told to “preserve their documents” and be “ready for subpoenas.”
