KKK represents white racism and white supremacy even if its not offical KKK members and white racist are mostly from the confederate south and vote republican.
Robert Byrd was born on November 20, 1917 as Cornelius Calvin Sale, Jr. in North Wilkesboro, North Carolina, to Cornelius Calvin Sale Sr. and his wife Ada Mae (Kirby).
You forgot the next sentence... "When he was ten months old, his mother died in the 1918 flu pandemic. In accordance with his mother's wishes, his father[10] dispersed their children among relatives. Calvin Jr. was adopted by his aunt and uncle, Titus and Vlurma Byrd, who changed his name to Robert Carlyle Byrd and raised him in the coal-mining region of southern West Virginia.[3][11][12]". Byrd was in office in West Virginia. He never held office in North Carolina. " Robert Carlyle "Bob" Byrd (born Cornelius Calvin Sale Jr.; November 20, 1917 – June 28, 2010) was a United States Senator from West Virginia. A member of the Democratic Party, Byrd served as a U.S. Representative from 1953 until 1959 and as a U.S. Senator from 1959 to 2010. He was the longest-serving Senator in United States history. In addition, he was, at the time of his death, the longest-serving member in the history of the United States Congress,[1][2][3][4] a record later surpassed by Representative John Dingell of Michigan.[5] Byrd was the last remaining member of the U.S. Senate to have served during the presidency of Dwight Eisenhower, and the last remaining member of Congress to have served during the presidency of Harry Truman. Byrd is also the only West Virginian to have served in both houses of the state legislature and both houses of Congress.[6] Byrd served in the West Virginia House of Delegates from 1947 to 1950, and the West Virginia State Senate from 1950 to 1952. Initially elected to the United States House of Representatives in 1952, Byrd served there for six years before being elected to the Senate in 1958. He rose to become one of the Senate's most powerful members, serving as secretary of the Senate Democratic Caucus from 1967 to 1971 and—after defeating his longtime colleague, Ted Kennedy—as Senate Majority Whip from 1971 to 1977. Over the next three decades, Byrd led the Democratic caucus in numerous roles depending on whether his party held control of the Senate, including Senate Majority Leader, Senate Minority Leader, President pro tempore of the United States Senate and President pro tempore emeritus.[7] As President pro tempore—a position he held four times in his career—he was third in the line of presidential succession, after the Vice President and the Speaker of the House of Representatives."
No need to go so far back Current President and Republican leader is the son of a KKK supporter. A defacto KKK is in the WH leading the Republicans
This has been debunked. He was picked up as a bystander walking on the street and released because he had no involvement with the KKK or events occurring on the street. The others who were picked up were all charged. And by the way Fred Trump was a large Democratic contributor in NYC.
I never said he held office in NC,I said thats where he is from. You said he was from West Virginia.His uncle who raised him wasn't from West Virginia,thats where they settled for coal mining work.And West Virginia has the same culture of the confederate south as it was part of a confederate state before breaking off to its own state
Trump seems to learned his lying and bull shit from his racist father who had DOJ lawsuits for not renting to black people.
I don't disagree with you. The facts back your assertion. However there is no evidence that Trump's father was involved with the KKK.
A lot of people share the beliefs of The KKK even if they aren't official KKK members.When many people,including myself, say KKK we mean all racist and white supremacist as The KKK was the biggest group to represent them and their beliefs.David duke may no longer be an official KKK member but we all know what he is and what he represents.
Fred Trump "was dismissed on a charge of refusing to disperse." https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/...-fred-trumps-alleged-involvement-with-the-kkk What kind of a bystander refuses police orders while the police are breaking up a klan rally? Sounds like one of those BLM 'thugs' you guys keep harping about. This is more evidence than your election merchandise.
