(4,539 posts)Senator Robert Byrd of West Virginia grew up poor in a very small town. Like everyone else in town, apparently the young boy was in the KKK briefly. Then he managed to leave the little town, go to college and graduate school, and earn a law degree. By the time he was a Senator, decades ago, Robert Byrd had shown a great ability to learn, change, and grow. He helped to strengthen civil rights for Black people and social justice in general. These people get him mixed up with another Senator from the old days, horribly racist Senator (Harry?) Byrd of Virginia, a scion of wealth and an advocate of extremely right-wing reactionary policies. I would not be surprised to learn that THIS Senator Byrd was some kind of KKK leader. Robert Byrd was not. That is why he and Joe Biden were friends.

That crazy woman says something like that at one point. Apparently, they have not read the part of the Old Testament where God warns the Israelites that ditching their system of democratically elected representatives for a king will only lead to tyranny.
