He was in the Klan from the age of 24 to about the age of 30. What the fuck does it matter that it was 60 years ago? And he was quite involved in the Klan, head of his local chapter and a recruiter. Not to mention that he filibustered the 1964 Civil Rights Act, and a vile letter he wrote during his Klan days is evidence of how deep and ugly his bigotry was. That's not a commendable history, and forgiving it is one thing, but excusing it because it was 60 years ago? Now that's disgusting.
