Barney Frank Says Race a Factor in Subprime Blame Game
October 07, 2008 10:00 AM

The Chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., yesterday said Republicans are misplacing blame when they target Democrats' efforts to expand affordable housing -- and Frank alleged there was a racial component to the criticism.

"They get to take things out on poor people," Frank said at a mortgage foreclosure symposium, as reported by the Associated Press's Glenn Johnson. "Let's be honest: The fact that some of the poor people are black doesn't hurt them either, from their standpoint. This is an effort, I believe, to appeal to a kind of anger in people."
