The day after Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) was rebuked while making a speech critical of Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.), Sen. Ted Cruz blasted Democrats, saying their party is the one rooted in racism.
The Democrats are the party of the Ku Klux Klan, Cruz (R-Tex.) said in an interview on Fox News on Wednesday. You look at the most racist you look at the Dixiecrats, they were Democrats who imposed segregation, imposed Jim Crow laws, who founded the Klan. The Klan was founded by a great many Democrats.

In defending the late West Virginia senator's approach to politics, he might have been justifying his own
Bill Clintons eulogy of Robert Byrd earlier today is getting some attention because the former president addressed Byrds notorious, early career Klan membership:

Clinton says Byrd joined KKK to help him get elected <[p> KKK membership is not an issue to the Clintons.
http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/107033-clinton-says-byrd-joined-kkk-to-help-him-get-elected
The last KKK member to be in Congress was sen Robert Byrd (d) who retired on 2010!!!
So beloved by the modern day DNC , he was made their President pro tempore Emeritus of the United States Senate
For our progressives: 2015- 2010 is 5, not 50!
So much for their, yes the DNC started the Confederacy, the KKK, Jim Crow Laws, Bull Connor,George Wallace ”but that was 50 years ago argument.
The Democrats made him leader of the Senate!
They referred to him as the 'conscience of the Senate'
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
In 1942, 24-year-old Byrd joined the Ku Klux Klan (KKK), whose parades in Matoaka, West Virginia, he had witnessed in his childhood. He was unanimously elected Exalted Cyclops, or leader, of his local chapter.[8]
Byrd, in his autobiography, attributed the beginnings of his political career to this incident, although he lamented that they involved the Klan.
According to Byrd, a KKK official told him "You have a talent for leadership, Bob... The country needs young men like you in the leadership of the nation." Byrd recalls that "suddenly lights flashed in my mind! Someone important had recognized my abilities! I was only 23 or 24 years old, and the thought of a political career had never really hit me. But strike me that night, it did."[4]
He participated in the KKK during World War II, holding the titles Kleagle (recruiter) and Exalted Cyclops [the top officer in the local Klan unit]. He did not serve in the military during the war, working instead as a welder in a Baltimore, Maryland shipyard, where he helped build warships.[citation needed]
Byrd commented on the 1945 controversy about racially integrating the military. Byrd, when he was 28 years old, wrote to segregationist Senator Theodore Bilbo, of Mississippi, vowing never to serve in such a military:
"Rather I should die a thousand times, and see Old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds.[5]"
He had earlier written "I shall never fight in the armed forces with a Negro by my side".[6][7]

From the Washington Post:
"Byrd said in the Dec. 11, 1945, letter -- which would not become public for 42 more years with the publication of a book on blacks in the military during World War II by author Graham Smith -- that he would never fight in the armed forces "with a Negro by my side." Byrd added that, "Rather I should die a thousand times, and see old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds.."..."
"during the general election campaign, Byrd's GOP opponent uncovered a letter Byrd had handwritten to Green, the KKK Imperial Wizard, recommending a friend as a Kleagle and urging promotion of the Klan throughout the country. The letter was dated 1946 -- long after the time Byrd claimed he had lost interest in the Klan. "The Klan is needed today as never before, and I am anxious to see its rebirth here in West Virginia," Byrd wrote, according to newspaper accounts of that period. Byrd makes no mention of the letter in his new book."

Okay, every time Cruz does this instead of getting legislation to the Senate floor for a vote, I’m going to call him on it.

The MSMLSD left Senator Sheets Byrd a grand pooba or something of the KKK in WVA.
Ex-Klansman Robert Byrd, the senior senator from West Virginia, casually used the phrase "white nigger" twice on national TV this weekend. Enraged civil rights groups organized a protest campaign against Sen. Byrd and demanded that he undergo sensitivity training ... not.
The ex-Klansman, you see, is a Democrat. Democrats can join hate groups and utter the ugliest racial slurs and get away with it because they are Democrats. They belong to the party of racial tolerance and understanding. They're paragons of virtue, and the rest of us are bigoted rubes.
The ex-Klansman showed his true colors when asked by Fox News Sunday morning talk show host Tony Snow about the state of race relations in America. Sen. Byrd warned: "There are white niggers. I've seen a lot of white niggers in my time. I'm going to use that word. We just need to work together to make our country a better country, and I'd just as soon quit talking about it so much."

Gun control is in the Democrat Party DNA, all the way back to its racist Civil War-era roots, when southern Democrats enacted Black Codes prohibiting emancipated slaves from owning guns or ammunition. Such blacks were only partly free; thanks to these Democrats, the core civil right of self defense was denied them.
Say it loud and everyday!
Every sentence should start with it.
Learn from the rats.
Thank you.
The Rats have always been exterminate and terrorists. As the KKK, ACLU and Black Panthers went into decline, the outlets for their maddest and baddest to spout their poisons became less and less. Instead they now make up the VERY HEART and LEADERSHIP of the Marxist Dunmycrat party.
They are the alt-left. Purveyors of violence and fake news.l
After Civil War II the Dummycrat party needs to be proscribed. It is a party of evil, violence and anti-Americanism
to say that the hate group was founded by the Democratic Party is misleading, J. Michael Martinez
They sure do go out of their wqay to LIE AND COVER THIS UP, Hell the KKK was in the OFFICIAL DEMOCRAT PARTY PLATFORM
Set a clock by Ted Cruz barking and being “outstanding”. He’s up for re-election, in Texas. More to come, I’m afraid.
Yawn.
Hillary referred to Byrd, Grand Cyclops of the KKK as her ‘role model’.
A few more racist Democrats of note:
George Wallace—Democrat
Bull Connor—Democrat
The KluKluxKlan were yesterday’s Democrats
The masked protestors are todays Democrats
This is the same church-mouse we heard almost nothing from last year in the run up to the election to defeat Hillary Clinton.
He sure has a mouth now.
I’ve heard more from Ted polishing his own knob over the last 20 days, than I hear from him the whole year after Trump obtaining all the delegates to win the nomination.
Poor old Ted. He got skunked. Then he acted like one the rest of the year.
Now you can’t shut the poor fellow up.
Now that it doesn’t matter what he does, he acts like big man on campus.
Ted is a rat turd in the punch-bowl.
That’s all he’ll ever be.
