Barney Frank's new book blames progressives for Trump's rise

Original: Late Congressman Barney Frank's new book argues progressives are partly responsible for Trump's rise

Former Massachusetts Congressman Barney Frank has released a new book arguing that progressives bear part of the responsibility for Donald Trump's political rise. The claim puts a prominent liberal voice against parts of his own side, and it is drawing attention as readers and commentators debate whether internal left-wing politics helped fuel Trump's electoral success.

Why now: The book's argument challenges fellow Democrats from within, prompting debate about the causes of Trump's rise.
