Former President Donald Trump took to his social media platform to demand that Netflix remove board member Susan Rice, labeling her a “political hack” and threatening that the company would “pay the consequences” if action was not taken.

Conservative influencer Laura Loomer highlighted Rice’s remarks on corporate accountability to accuse Netflix of partisan bias, calling the company “anti-American” and urging regulators to block its proposed merger with Warner Bros. Discovery.

Netflix is pursuing a reported $72 billion acquisition of a film and television studio, a move that follows eight Senate Democrats’ request for document preservation in Paramount Skydance’s takeover bid, underlining heightened regulatory and political scrutiny of its growth strategy.
