“Fannie Mae” Frank Makes Ad Blaming Republicans For Mortgage Woes, Attacks O’Reilly - With Video
By JEREMY P. JACOBS, PolitickerMA.com Reporter
In his second ad of the election cycle, Congressman Barney Frank criticizes Republicans for being at the root of the current financial crisis.
“The right wing is losing control,” the narrator says, as footage of Frank’s recent appearance on Fox News’ The O’Reilly Factor plays. “For 12 years the Republic majority refused to regulate the financial system. Last year, Barney Frank became chairman of the House Financial Services Committee and started working on the subprime mortgage crisis, outrageous CEO compensation and other Wall Street abuses.”
Frank also signs off the ad with an implicit swipe at Bill O’Reilly, the host of The O’Reilly Factor.
“I’m Barney Frank, I approve this message and the chance to be on TV without interruption,” he says.
This is Frank’s second ad in his re-election campaign. He is currently facing challenges from Republican Earl Sholley and Independent Susan Allen.
This ad, like the first one, was produced by local Democratic strategist Dan Payne’s media shop.
