Social media is blazing with calls to boycott Netflix after its executive chairman, Reed Hastings, donated $7 million to a super PAC supporting Vice President Kamala Harris' presidential campaign, according to Variety.

This $7 million donation is reportedly the largest single campaign donation ever made by the Netflix cofounder. Hastings and his wife have long been among the largest donors of the Democratic party.

In a social media post on July 23, Hastings posted "Congrats to Kamala Harris — now it is time to win." It was met with a heavy backlash of replies and reposts from people threatening to cancel their Netflix subscriptions, many of which identified as conservatives, patriots and MAGA supporters.

#CancelNetflix has since been trending on social media as cancel culture, or "accountability culture" rears its head again.

Jenna Ellis, the former attorney for former President Donald Trump, jumped on the trend and responded to the boycott with a post to her social media account stating: "This is only the beginning."

Hastings was among many of Hollywood's elite, such as George Clooney, Rob Reiner, John Cusack and more, who called on President Joe Biden to drop out of the presidential race after his poor debate performance against Trump on June 27.
