In a new video for the “Mitt Gets Worse” campaign, retiring U.S. Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) speaks about his experiences with Mitt Romney and gives his opinion on how Mitt would “get worse” is elected President.
“I don’t really know that Mitt Romney dislikes gay people … (But he is) consumed by ambition and willing to trash minority groups and appeal to prejudice against them for political advancement,” said Frank.
Watch:
In the video, Frank speculates that a Romney victory would be a serious setback for LGBT people, that Romney would reinstate “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,” the now-repealed ban on openly gay service members, and that Romney would lead a campaign advocating for a federal constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage, and invalidate existing unions where states have already legalized marriage equality.
