Because Frank was directly tied to a disturbing political scandal in the 1980s. It was a scandal involving a male escort operation run out of his home by a man with deep connections to a bigger network involving underage boys, political protection, and organized exploitation in the Swamp.
That’s what Barney Frank got caught up in.
But unlike conservatives who get politically executed over much less, Barney Frank survived it all… and actually thrived.
The media and the political establishment protected him. And eventually, the disturbing scandal was treated like some “meh” footnote that people never talked about.
Barney Frank’s memory is protected by the media, so history gets rewritten for him.
And for the record, that escort scandal wasn’t a “dark web rumor.” It was very real and investigated by the House Ethics Committee. To this day, it’s still part of Barney Frank’s public record.
