'Liberty, Equality & Fraternity over Discrimination, Bigotry & a Stupid Wall': Internet celebrates Macron win

Twitter users still reeling from President Donald Trump's election celebrated French voters getting it right and choosing centrist Emmanuel Macron as their new president over extreme right-wing nationalist Marine Le Pen.


Macron pulled out a stunning win over Le Pen on Sunday, with early reporting stating he rolled up 65 percent of the vote.

Twitter users breathed a sigh of relief that French voters saw what many America voters didn't see: a dangerous right-wing candidate backed by white supremacists.

California Democrat Ted Lieu led the charge, tweeting: "Today France chose Liberty, Equality & Fraternity over Discrimination, Bigotry & a Stupid Wall."

And then it was on.
