Biden described this man as a mentor, a guide & a friend. No, Byrd wasn't a grand wizard just an exalted cyclops. Which from what I can read is still a leader in the damn KKK.
So again why isn't he under the same scrutiny? Repeatedly makes racial gaffes with little to no blowback from the same people that condemn Trump.
Because Byrd condemned his own past and spent his final decades in the Senate working to promote civil rights.
Byrd spent less than 10 years in the KKK and nearly 50 in the Senate. He went from filibustering the Civil Rights Act in the 60's to having a 100% voting record with the NAACP.
He was by no means perfect, even late in life, but he made up for his mistakes and owned it.
