Michelle Obama Tweets Amnesty Fasters: 'We're With You'



Michelle Obama Tweets Amnesty Fasters: 'We're With You'

On Tuesday, First Lady Michelle Obama tweeted a message to protesters in Washington, D.C. who are fasting for a pathway to citizenship: "We're with you."

Organizers of the fast for comprehensive immigration reform have said the fasters, who are "abstaining from all food--except water"--would be joined by "groups and activists who are prepared to make sacrifices for the passage of immigration reform with a path to citizenship."

But as Breitbart News reported, liberal outlets had to concede that there were more journalists than activists at immigration events such as #Fast4Families last week in Washington, D.C.

President Barack Obama also acknowledged the fasters in his remarks on immigration reform in San Francisco on Monday.
