In Byrd's 2005 memoir, AFTER he supposedly "renounced" his executive positions in the KKK as Grand Kleagle AND Exalted Cyclops, Byrd describes the KKK as a fraternal assembly of "upstanding people". 

He also was the ONLY senator to vote AGAINST both African-American Supreme Court nominees Clarence Thomas and Thurgood Marshal, and who could forget his quote about "white N-words", again coming AFTER his supposed renunciation of the Klan.

But in your hypocritical book that's not resuming his racism.

Then consider the fact that David Duke was 1-9 in elections, and Robert Byrd was 13-0.

Repubs rightfully shun racists out of their party, while Dems gleefully reelect them.

Yet you still ignorantly defend them.

You're part of the problem, not the solution.
