The SEIU leader who fasted for 22 days last year in Washington to pressure Congress to pass amnesty sat at the head table with President Barack Obama at the State Dinner for French President François Hollande Tuesday.
It was feast, not famine, for Eliseo Medina, who sat together at the head table with Obama, First Lady Michelle Obama, Hollande, and even comedian Stephen Colbert, according to pool reports.
The Obamas expressed their support repeatedly last year for the “Fast For Families” advocates, and President Obama even visited the fasters after the Thanksgiving holiday.
