More from the letter, quote, I had a good conversation with the president this week where I shared my views and I appreciate his openness to engaging on issues that matter to us all.

The memo quickly drawing criticism online replies to Gurman's post filled with hundreds of comments, many sharply critical of Cook.

One user writing, quote, Tim needs to focus on making the iPhone keyboard work again.

Another adding, quote, Exhibit A for weak leadership 101.

The criticism coming amid another wave of backlash over Cook's attendance at a private White House screening last Saturday of the Melania documentary.

The $40 million project, distributed by Amazon, marking a comeback for director Brett Ratner, who was, quote, canceled in 2017 during the Me Too movement following multiple allegations of sexual misconduct.

Ratner denies the allegations and was never charged, though Warner Bros.

ended its partnership with his production company.

Also attending the screening, Mike Tyson, Tony Robbins, and Amazon CEO Andy Jassy.

Cook was photographed at the event alongside Ratner, taking place the same day as the Alex Preddy confrontation, which remains under investigation.

Washington bureau chief for liberal outlet Mother Jones, David Corn, writing on Blue Sky, quote, Tim Cook and Andy Jassy, and the rest, are accommodating an authoritarian who is presiding over a secret police force killing American citizens.

The blood of Rene Good and Alex Preddy is on the hands of those who enabled Trump.

Hope they like the movie.

Totally normal response.

Apple has not publicly responded to the criticism.

We reached out for comment and did not receive a reply.

That'll do it for your AM update.
