Barney Frank: ‘The ‘Only Consistent Principle Of Mitt Romney’ Is Political Ambition (VIDEO)

Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA)

Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA) says he’s found the one thing former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney (R) doesn’t flip-flop on: grabbing power by any means necessary.

“I cannot think of a public policy” Romney hasn’t changed positions on, Frank said in a blistering interview with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer. “The only consistent principle of Mitt Romney is he thinks he should run the world.”

Frank doubled down on his criticisms of Romney, who he said in 2007 was “the most intellectually dishonest man in the history of politics.”

“He’s confirmed it since,” Frank told Blitzer.
