Senator Scott Brown is blasting House Republicans for scuttling the middle class tax cut that passed in the Senate. Brown, facing a strong challenge from Democrat Elizabeth Warren, issued a press release blasting House Republicans for their “plan to scuttle the deal to help middle-class families.” Brown described the move from Speaker John Boehner and Majority Leader Eric Cantor as “irresponsible and wrong.”

Brown, who was a champion of the Tea Party movement currently opposing a two month extension of tax cuts, also described his fellow Republicans as “playing politics” rather than “find[ing] solutions.”

Elizabeth Warren, the target of a major attack campaign from Republican boss Karl Rove fueled by Wall Street money, recently moved ahead of Brown in polling.
