Byrd wasn’t a Grand Wizard. He was an Exalted Cyclops.

Before he became a Democrat Senator in the late 1950’s, Robert Byrd organized the Sophia, West Virginia chapter of the “Ku Klux Klan” and was later elected “Exalted Cyclops” — the highest position in the local Klan — by a “unanimous” vote.

That's right. And an Exalted Cyclops was the local Klan leader (not a leader, but the leader). It was a big-shot position.

So yeah, Byrd was not just some guy sitting in the back row of a Klan meeting. He was running the meeting. Funny how Democrats never seem to mention that.

I thought it was “Grand Kleagle” or some such thing?

Didn’t he also hold Grand Kleagle office?

Byrd was a recruiter for the Klan and he was a member.Grand Wizard, Exalted Cyclops, Grand Kleagle, what's the difference? They were a bunch of sheet wearing pointy headed domestic terrorists who assaulted and murdered people. And they were Democrats.
