Former Congressman Barney Frank doesn’t care that al-Qaeda attacked him in the latest issue of their Inspire Magazine, the magazine al-Qaeda puts out intermittently to inspire terrorist attacks in Western nations.

In fact, Frank said he finds it “ironic,” comparing al-Qaeda’s opposition to his marriage to a man to opposition he said he received from the American right wing.

“I thought there was an irony there,” Frank told BuzzFeed when reached by phone Wednesday night. “It sounded like what the Tea party said when I got married.”
