Remember, these are the same holier than thou people that are tearing down statues of George Washington and Lincoln as “racists”. Yet, this guy was the longest serving Democrat Senator in recent history, and best friends with Biden, Obama and the Clintons. You should have seen how they all eulogized and wept for him at his funeral. And his statue still stands tall in the halls of the senate. Tells you all you need to know about them.
In December 1944, Byrd wrote to segregationist Mississippi Senator Theodore G. Bilbo:
In December 1944, Byrd wrote to segregationist Mississippi Senator Theodore G. Bilbo:
I shall never fight in the armed forces 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 C. Byrd, in a letter to Sen. Theodore Bilbo (D-MS), 1944[15][30]none
