Allegedly Rep. Pete Sessions was the one who ‘can not stand to look’ at Obama

Durbin-gate is becoming more interesting.

As reported here, Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) said in a Facebook post that during a negotiation meeting with the President over the government shutdown, a House Republican leader told Obama “I can not even stand to look at you.”

Details were scant. Evidence was lacking, politicians lie all the time, but still, we can’t discount the fact that it’s not beyond a House Republican to go right into President Obama’s face with such an insult. It’s happened before, or at least similar ‘You lie!’ type of occurrences. Republicans have propagated fear-inducing lies suggesting that our President is a Muslim-Maoist-Socialist-Communist-Atheist-Gay dictator beholden to the Muslim brotherhood and he’s from a country populated with scary black people.

So, we wanted a name and this one popped up: Rep. Pete Sessions.

According to the sources, Nabors told the story to four Senate Democrats – Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, New York’s Chuck Schumer, Washington’s Patty Murray, and Durbin – on October 15, near the end of the shutdown.

Reid then told the story to the entire Senate Democratic caucus, identifying the Republican in question as Texas Rep. Pete Sessions.

I'm not surprised. When I lived in Dallas he was my representative and a bigger POS never lived (well short of Boehner, Cantor, Cruz, et al).
