Insider says Obama administration 'sent a message' to black Democratic lawmakers that they should skip Netanyahu speech to Congress, as Biden says he'll be a no-show

**SNIP**

That disapproval apparently was orchestrated, or at least strongly encouraged, by the White House through comamunications with lawmakers connected to the Congressional Black Caucus.

'I'm not saying the president called anyone personally,' a current White House staffer told Daily Mail Online.

'But yeah, the White House sent a message to some at the CBC that they should suddenly be very upset about the speech.'

The source said it was a 'back-channel' arrangement that did not involve the higher echelons of the West Wing.

Butterfield's spokeswoman Kezmiché Atterbury denied it on Friday afternoon, saying he 'was not asked by anyone at the White House or otherwise' to skip Netanyahu's planned address.

Odumba$$ is afraid of Netanyahu. If Netanyahu tells everything he knows about Odumba$$’s personal life, the public will get a rude awakening.
