Jenner Dethrones Obama on Twitter

President Obama got overtaken in the decathlon of Twitter records yesterday.

Obama launched his first personal Twitter account in six years of presidency on May 18, racking up a million followers in just under five hours. The Guinness Book of World Records certified the feat.

But after Bruce Jenner debuted on a Vanity Fair cover and online yesterday as Caitlyn Jenner, Obama’s record was toppled by the Olympic champion: a million followers in four hours.

Another Jenner world record, and at 65? Who’da thought! Humbled & honored to have reached 1M followers in 4 hrs. Thank you for your support.

Obama later gave a nod to the transgender reality TV star.

It takes courage to share your story. https://t.co/Q7wWjV9Rxx

He then provided a link for people to share their LGBT stories via Organizing for America.

Your story matters in the fight for LGBT rights—share it here: http://t.co/FjAdgfkW0D

Senior adviser Valerie Jarrett also had words of encouragement for Jenner.

Nice to meet you, @Caitlyn_Jenner. The brave choice to live as your authentic self is a powerful example to so many. https://t.co/Hbh3atbUOy
