Barney Frank warns Democrats have gone too far on social issues during hospice interview

Former Representative Barney Frank, a progressive icon currently in hospice for congestive heart failure, appeared on CNN's "State of the Union" to express concern that Democrats have pushed too far on social and cultural issues as litmus tests, even when he personally agrees with them. Frank argued that while the left successfully brought inequality to the mainstream Democratic agenda, it inadvertently enabled broader social changes the public is not yet ready for, using same-sex marriage as an example of an issue that required patience and strategic timing.
