Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.) wished former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton a happy birthday on Thursday in a tweet calling her "Madame President."

Lewis's tweet Thursday afternoon had been retweeted more than 1,500 times less than a half-hour after it was posted.


Clinton won the popular vote for the presidency last November, but lost the White House to President Trump in the Electoral College.

Lewis, a civil rights icon, endorsed Clinton and campaigned on her behalf. His tweet followed others from fellow prominent Democrats, including Clinton's husband, former President Bill Clinton.





Tweet: As you can imagine there are many not so nice comments but also some good ones:
