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 US Congressman Barney Frank has released a new book arguing that progressives themselves bear part of the responsibility for Donald Trump's political rise. The argument, reported by WBUR, has drawn attention for its critique from within the Democratic side, with Frank suggesting that progressive positioning helped fuel Trump's appeal among voters.
Why now: A prominent Democrat publicly criticizing his own party's progressive wing is provocative and timely amid debates over the party's direction after Trump's victories.
