Bam.
On Sunday, Fox News’ Harris Faulkner retweeted an intriguing question: “Where is your senator” as the shutdown looms?

Enter #BlameHarryReid. Legal Insurrection put the blame where it should be: At the feet of Sen. Harry Reid. “Hostage-holders“? Look in the mirror, Harry:

More from Legal Insurrection:
Harry Reid almost never allows up or down votes on Republican agenda legislation coming out of the House. He has taken the Senate hostage.
A good example is the House Continuing Resolution which Reid would not allow to come up for a vote until Obamacare defunding was stripped out. He could have allowed a vote on the entire bill — which Ted Cruz said would have satisfied him — but Reid held the nation hostage.
Nailed. It.
NRO’s Charles C.W. Cooke agrees.
A lot of truth in this, which echoes this: http://t.co/l9DNp1skQ1. RT @LegInsurrection: #BlameHarryReid http://t.co/uxsCTQHngA

And citizens on Twitter are also putting the blame where it belongs. Own it, Sen. Reid.

An early win?
#BlameHarryReid because we won't be lectured about fiscal responsibility from a guy who didn't pass a budget for 1,400 days.
