During the short portion of the interview that was played on the show today, the 60-year old Cook was asked about events that took place in the Capitol last week. After the riot, Apple removed social media site Parler from the App Store for failing to moderate comments that could lead to violent actions. Cook himself called for those responsible to be “held accountable.” He said, “I think it’s key that people be held accountable for it. This is not something that should skate. This is something that we’ve got to be very serious about and understand. And then we need to move forward.” He added that, “I think no one is above the law. I mean, that’s a great thing about our country, and we’re a rule of law country. I think everyone that had a part in it needs to be held accountable.”
