Joe Biden gave a special shoutout to his KKK buddy and Kleagle Robert Byrd during his CNN town hall tonight. Senator Robert Byrd was a top Democrat in the US Senate for decades. Joe Biden: “When I got to the United States Senate at a time when we had guys like Jim Eastland, and Strom Thurmond, and Robert F. Byrd and a whole range of people who were very, very, very, very, very, very conservative on race, to say the least.”
