outraged by the choice and threatening to cancel their Netflix memberships.</p>

"We are delighted to welcome Ambassador Rice to the Netflix board," Netflix CEO Reed Hastings said in <a href="http://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/ambassador-susan-e-rice-appointed-to-netflix-board-of-directors-1019729258" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(25, 109, 141); text-decoration: none; background-color: transparent;" class="">a
statement</a> on Wednesday. "For decades, she has tackled difficult, complex global issues with intelligence, integrity and insight and we look forward to benefiting from her experience and wisdom."</p>

But critics of Rice disagreed with Hastings' characterization, and they voiced their displeasure on social media platforms like Twitter, where Rice was called a "liar" and a "criminal" by various users.</p>

Why did the appointment of Rice lead to such anger?</p>

Days after the September 11, 2012, attack on the US consulate in Benghazi, Libya, then-UN Ambassador Rice went on the <a href="https://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2012/11/16/flashback-what-susan-rice-said-about-benghazi/" target="_blank" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(25, 109, 141); text-decoration: none; background-color: transparent;" class="">Sunday
news shows</a> and said the attack was due to protests over a US-made YouTube video. GOP Sens. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and John McCain of Arizona suggested Rice was part of a political cover-up heading into the November presidential elections.</p>

The Obama administration later said the attack was a pre-planned terrorist act and not a protest that turned violent. The attack led to four Americans being killed, including US Ambassador to Libya, J. Christopher Stevens.</p>

Since then, Rice's name has provoked the instant rage of many, especially US conservatives.</p>

Here are a few examples of people who have spoken out on Twitter against the appointment, some of whom threatened to cancel the streaming service or have used the hashtag #BoycottNetflix:</p>
