I see the lefties are still trying to defend this guy but let’s look at some facts.
A high ranking Klan member used racism to get the job.
He quit when the Klan realized they could put the blacks on welfare and get their votes.
He actually had the first black President in history go to his funeral and praise what a great man he was. Imagine the Uncle Tom jokes at the Klan meeting that night.
WTF??
You idiots will say anything, no matter how stupid.
Byrd left the Klan in the early 40's. Welfare was passed nearly a quarter of a century later. Exactly how brain dead are you to try and tie those two events together?
He left the KKK in 1943 but in 1946 wrote a letter to the KKK Imperial Wizard saying the KKK was needed "more now than ever before". He defended the KKK until 1958.
As recently as 2001 Robert KKK Byrd was dropping the N word in a national broadcast.

"He left the KKK in 1943"
Great, thanks for admitting he wasn't KKK when he appeared in that photo with Biden.
He left the Klan in 1943. Said they were needed in 1946, defended them until 1958 and then called people nigerz in 2001.
He called some whites, "*******." Not that that's right and his apology was definitely warranted, but he didn't call any blacks a "******."
Still, you posted he left the KKK in 1943 and that picture with Biden was from 2008. So clearly, this brain-dead notion by the retarded right that Biden hangs with the KKK I'd complete and utter nonsense.
Thanks again for your help in determining that.
