Obama's anti-racism tweet after Charlottesville is most liked ever on Twitter
A tweet by Barack Obama
condemning racism in the aftermath of a far-right rally in
Charlottesville, Virginia, has become the most liked tweet ever, with
more than 3 million social media users so far endorsing the sentiment.
The tweet, quoting the late South African president Nelson Mandela,

Each has had more than a million likes, and hundreds of thousands of retweets.
