The Huffington Post is now reporting that it was Pete Sessions (R-Tx) who told President Obama that he "couldn't stand to look" at him.
Other tidbits from the HuffPo story:
- Harry Reid told the entire Democratic Caucus about the incident. Two Democratic Senators at the meeting (NOT including Dick Durbin) independently reported the incident.
- The President responded with extreme class and dignity, with Reid stating that "Obama responded to Sessions by saying he understood that they disagreed on many issues and he respected their differences."
If you don't know, Pete Sessions has a history of making racist comments. So this latest burst of hate isn't something unexpected from this asshole.
