They must hold a grudge over the prosecution of KKK members.
Except for Senator Byrd, he claimed to have left the KKK in 1943, but wrote a letter in 1946 to the group’s Imperial Wizard stating “The Klan is needed today as never before, and I am anxious to see its rebirth here in West Virginia.”
Byrd attempted to explain or defend his former membership in the Klan in his 1958 U.S. He came dem party leader in the Senate. Byrd later said joining the Klan was his “greatest mistake.” The NAACP gave him a 100% rating on their issues during the 108th Congress. But in a 2001 Byrd repeatedly used the phrase “white ni**ers” on a national television broadcast.
Republicans should remind them of Byrd.
