"Schmitt noted multiple posts made by the company following the killing of George Floyd by police officer Derek Chauvin in May 2020 in Minneapolis. Okay, in the wake of the George Floyd riots, on June 20th, Netflix posted on its page, To my white friends, guilt, shame, embarrassment.' What does that mean? Schmitt asked. Sarandos said he was unaware of any such post and called such statements a mistake."
"Both you and Netflix both have made a habit of promoting DEI and wokeness. I'll just give a few examples. Netflix content is synonymous for the modern phenomenon of race swapping both historical and real and fictional characters. Just a few examples: Netflix made black Vikings, Netflix changed Cleopatra from Macedonian to Black, Achilles changed from Greek to Black, Netflix overtly sexualizes children in its Cuties film related to pre-teen girls."
Sen. Eric Schmitt questioned Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos during a congressional hearing as Netflix awaits regulatory approval to acquire Warner Bros Discovery. Schmitt cited social media posts after George Floyd's killing, quoting a June 20 post reading 'To my white friends, guilt, shame, embarrassment,' and pressed Sarandos, who said he was unaware of such a post and called it a mistake while denying a political agenda. Schmitt accused Netflix of promoting DEI and 'wokeness,' citing examples including race-swapping historical and fictional characters, the film Cuties' alleged sexualization of pre-teen girls, and claims Netflix pushes sexual and gender theory on children.
