Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid took aim at Republican donors Monday. Speaking on the opening day of the legislative session, Reid blamed billionaires like the Koch brothers for the failure by House Republicans to pass key legislation, like an extension of unemployment benefits.

Sen. Harry Reid: “While struggling American families plead to Congress for help in providing work or getting paid fair, livable wages, House Republicans prefer to talk about anything but what is relevant. Why? Because their billionaire 'sugar daddies' aren’t interested in helping middle-class Americans get a fair shot. Charles and David Koch aren’t concerned with the long-term unemployed families, and so the Republicans they sponsor in the House of Representatives are content to do nothing for the long-term unemployed.”
