Streaming giant Netflix has calls from conservatives to boycott the company after co-founder Reed Hastings donated an exorbitant sum to Vice President Kamala Harris’ presidential bid. President Joe Biden shocked the nation when he recently announced he would drop out of the 2024 race. Despite the shake-up in Democratic leadership, Hastings donated $7 million to Harris’ campaign.
After President Biden announced that he would be withdrawing from his reelection bid, Hastings quickly backed Vice President Kamala Harris, supporting her takeover of the Democratic ticket. “Congrats to Kamala Harris — now it is time to win,” the Netflix co-founder posted on X. However, Hastings’ comment drew significant backlash from conservatives on the social media platform.
One person blasted Hastings for his endorsement, suggesting that there was an undemocratic “coup” that forced Biden out of his reelection bid. “Congrats”? What are you congratulating her for? She committed a coup against the sitting president of the United States. Where’s Joe?” they wrote. Another user implored Hastings to comment on an accomplishments Harris had to show. “Can you tell me one thing she did while she was VP, ” they said.
Following Hastings’ vocal support of Harris, many have called for a boycott against the streaming service. “I think it’s time to boycott Netflix. They’ are overcharging Americans anyway,” one social media user wrote. Another person appeared to have already cancelled their own subscription to Netflix, writing, “So glad I cancelled Netflix.”
Another person echoed similar sentiment, writing, “Just cancelled Netflix…this was the final straw…too woke and clearly anti American…any company actively contributing to Harris who lied for 4 years and is completely unfit for office is not getting my money…” One user weighed in, “Obviously, operation weekend at Bernie’s was supposed to culminate in at least getting Biden over the finish line with all of the cheating no doubt they have planned, and then Kamala could just step into the role without the gamble.”
While Harris may have received praise from Hastings and other mainstream figures, The American Tribune recently reported on Articles of Impeachment introduced against Vice President Harris by GOP Rep. Andy Ogles. The Republican Representative claimed the Vice President had committed high crimes and misdemeanors in her handling of the border and failure to uphold the Constitution.
“Kamala Harris has demonstrated extraordinary incompetence in the execution of her duties and responsibilities, a stark refusal to uphold the existing immigration laws, and a palpable indifference to people of the United States suffering as a result of the ongoing southern border crisis in the United States,” the letter from Ogles read.
Ogles further stated, “Vice President Harris has consistently refused to visit the southern border to evaluate this ongoing national crisis, aside from a single trip hundreds of miles away from the epicenter of the migrant crisis.” Calling out her handling of the southern border, he wrote, “Women and girls in the United States have paid a disproportionate price for the ongoing border crisis, tragically extenuated by the inaction of border [chief] Kamala Devi Harris. In August 2023, Rachel Morin, a mother of 5, was raped and killed by an illegal alien. In September 16 2023, an illegal alien attacked a woman and her 9-year-old daughter in Los Angeles. On May 14, 2024, an illegal alien from Turkey raped a 15-year-old New York girl after threatening to beat her with a pipe. In February 2024, a 22-year-old nursing student Laken Riley was killed by an illegal alien.”
