Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid launched a new assault on the Koch brothers, blaming them for House Republicans’ not passing an extension of unemployment benefits, a minimum wage hike or other parts of the Democratic agenda.

“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 that they sponsor in the House of Representatives are content to do nothing for the long-term unemployed,” Reid said, renewing his barrage against the wealthy businessmen and donors to a variety of conservative causes.

The Nevada Democrat spoke on Monday to open the Senate for a monthlong work period.

“Some of the most popular performances in Nevada are magicians and illusionists who entertain their audiences by making the impossible seem real,” Reid said, setting up his line of the day. “It seems that the Republican Party has decided to follow in Houdini and Copperfield’s footsteps and play a bit of misdirection of its own.”

Reid was highlighting recent reports that he would be made a campaign issue in Senate races across the country, a role he seems to relish.

“I’m not running for anything for a few more years,” Reid said. “As I’ve said before, being a target of a couple rich billionaires is not going to intimidate me.”
