Barney Frank: ‘I Worked Very Well With Republicans Until The Wackos Came To Power’

The former Massachusetts congressman will be premiering a film about him at the Tribeca Film Festival: Compared to What. He’s also inspired a book, Barney Frank: The Story of America’s Only Left-Handed, Gay, Jewish Congressman.

Contrary to his prickly public image—stoked by countless combative cable television appearances—Frank prides himself on his skills as a legislator who was willing to reach across the aisle and compromise to accomplish things for the people. “I think I was seen as a very constructive legislator,” he says. “I worked very well with Republicans until the wackos came to power.”
