CNN = Fake News
Nowhere in the article did they mention that this “Byrd” person was Robert Byrd, who just happened to have been a democrat senator and a former member of the Ku Klux Klan
Nope, that wasn’t important
Hail Byrd must mean something entirely different
Harry Truman was also a member of the Klan as well as the Pendergast Gang.
It did mean something different. Byrd was their drill instructor who they were trying to make fun of.
