Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's (D-NV) unapologetic criticism of the billionaire Koch brothers is clearly getting to Republicans.
Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus used an appearance on "Fox & Friends" on Wednesday morning to highlight his letter to the Senate Ethics Committee over Reid's alleged use of taxpayer resources for partisan purposes.
Reid, Priebus said, has used his Senate.gov website and official Twitter account to post unfavorable content about Republicans and the Kochs. Priebus alleged that both actions are in violation of Senate ethics rules.
"Look, Harry Reid brings this stuff on himself and in some ways maybe folks watching think that's exactly what Harry Reid wants," Priebus said. "Here's the problem: Harry Reid is so dirty and so unethical, that some of these things have to happen. You have to put a marker down and say, 'Wait a second, you are not going to use a taxpayer website and a taxpayer Twitter account to attack Republicans.'"
