Barney Frank's new book blames progressives partly 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 share part of the blame for Donald Trump's political rise. Frank contends that positions taken by the left alienated voters and helped fuel Trump's support. The argument has drawn attention given Frank's long record as a prominent liberal Democrat criticising his own party's flank.

Why now: A well-known liberal Democrat publicly criticising progressives is sparking debate within US political circles.
