Though the streaming giant came out against Georgia’s abortion law, CEO Reed Hastings contributed to lawmakers who voted for a similar law in Missouri.
Netflix became the first major Hollywood studio to publicly take a stance on Georgia’s new abortion law on Tuesday, declaring that it would reconsider filming its movies and television series in the state if the law goes into effect.
Yet Netflix co-founder and CEO Reed Hastings contributed to the campaigns of scores of Republican state lawmakers who recently approved similarly restrictive abortion legislation in Missouri, as first noted by the newsletter Popular Information on Wednesday. In addition, Hastings donated $2,600, the maximum individual contribution, to the campaign of Gov. Mike Parson , who signed the bill into law last week.
The contributions to the Missouri Republicans appear somewhat at odds with his political activity on the national level. Like many entertainment and tech CEOs, Hastings has overwhelmingly supported Democratic candidates and causes, according to Open Secrets.
