The No. 2 Democrat in the Senate, Sen. dikk Durbin, says that a House Republican leader told off President Barack Obama during a negotiation meeting, and that GOP leaders are so disrespectful it’s practically impossible to have a conversation with them.

“In a ‘negotiation’ meeting with the president, one GOP House Leader told the president: ‘I cannot even stand to look at you,’” Durbin wrote in a post on his Facebook page over the weekend.

Calling a government shutdown strategy from Republicans “disastrous,” Durbin did not specify which leader made the comment, what the context was or how the president responded.

The Senate majority whip offered the comment as rebuttal to the Republican argument that Obama does not do enough to communicate with Republicans, essentially saying to do so is impossible.

“What are the chances of an honest conversation with someone who has just said something so disrespectful?” Durbin wrote.

Sen. Durbin’s office had no comment on the post and offered no further details.

House Speaker John Boehner’s spokesman said the post was not about the top House Republican. “The speaker certainly didn’t say that and does not recall anyone else doing so,” Michael Steel said.

The White House did not respond to a request for comment.
