President-elect Donald Trump in a tweet early Saturday morning criticized Georgia Rep. John Lewis' district as "in horrible shape and falling apart (not to mention crime infested)."
Trump tweeted that Lewis “should spend more time on fixing and helping his district,” after Lewis said he would not attend Trump’s inauguration next week.
Lewis' district includes the world's busiest airport, some of the biggest technology firms in the region and other major corporations.
It includes most of Atlanta and parts of Fulton, DeKalb and Clayton counties, Brookhaven, College Park, Decatur and Morrow.
Here’s a list of some of the heavy hitters with headquarters or a significant presence in Lewis’s district, in no particular order:
