Barney Frank goes after Mitt Romney on LGBT rights

By on October 1, 2012

A new video from the “Mitt Gets Worse” project featured Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA) hounding Mitt Romney over his lack of support for gay rights. Frank also said that Romney’s future actions as President would be “more worser:”

“Particularly on LGBT rights, he’s been especially incosistent…. [In 1994, he announced] that he would be better on LGBT rights than Ted Kennedy…. That turned out to have been a lie…. He has never been in favor of any legislation or executive order that would advance our rights. Zero, none.”
