Apple CEO Tim Cook displayed his patriotic side by wishing everyone a happy Independence Day with a rather pointed tweet.

Cook was referring to this particular quote from former President Franklin D. Roosevelt: "Remember, remember always, that all of us, and you and I especially, are descended from immigrants and revolutionists."

This comes just weeks after Cook sat down with President Trump at a roundtable meeting with other tech execs to discuss concerns regarding the proposed executive order on immigration.
