Flashback: Hillary Clinton Praises ‘Friend and Mentor’ Robert Byrd (a KKK Recruiter)

In 2010, then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton fondly eulogized Sen. Robert Byrd, a former member and recruiter for the Ku Klux Klan. Clinton called Byrd “my friend and mentor” in a video message to commemorate his passing.

As a young man in West Virginia, Byrd was involved in the KKK and reportedly recruited 150 members to the group. While serving in Congress, Byrd set the record for longest filibuster on the floor of the U.S. Senate with a 14-hour filibuster of the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

In a 2005 article titled “A Senator’s Shame,” the Washington Post’s Eric Pianin pilloried Byrd’s attempts to downplay his involvement in the organization as he grew older.

Meanwhile, she calls every Trump supporter a “racist”. Leftist hypocrisy knows no bounds. (Nor is it ever exposed by the MSM)

“I will never submit to fight beneath that banner with a Negro by my side. 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.” - Robert Byrd (D-WV)

Friend of Hillary, he was. If Trump is/was KKK, then he must be a friend of Hillary, by association.....

Hey Black America, what do you think of that??? What is wrong with this picture, or do you even care???

I remember a lot of arrogant, classless leftist ohole freepers screaming this and worse before most finally STFU and left.

What do you expect?

They are the party of the evil Woodrow Wilson (Klan supporter) and Truman (Klan member). These are two of their greatest heroes as well!

All of you third party voters out there remember this is what we will get in the White House thanks to you. A third party vote or a stay at home voter is a vote for Hillary, because the Democrats and those women who don’t care about anything except electing a woman president will all vote for Hillary! Have your guns ready to surrender to the political machine, and be ready to give up your job and your home and country to the New World Order. Hillary is an evil, lying, despicable, un-American, woman lawyer!
This is around the same time this evil woman was FIRED from the Watergate Commission for LYING and HIDING EXCULPATORY EVIDENCE IN HER DESK!!
If we FAIL to get an OVERWHELMING vote for Trump, the Democrat VOTE FRAUD MACHINE will — AS THEY HAVE FOR DECADES — STEAL YET ANOTHER ELECTION!
Now, damn it, watch — AND SHARE — this video!!! Even if you’ve seen this 2+ minute video before, please watch it again. (Most people require 7 “impressions” — exposures to a message — before it really sinks in.)

Watch this factual account. It is hard to watch but very much worth your honest attention.
Something Everyone should know . . .

Drudge needs to get a pic of Hillary and KKK Byrd as a headline, with a siren.
