“Although I and my colleagues behind me revere the Senate, Robert C. Byrd elevated the Senate,” said vice president Joe Biden in the July 2010 memorial service for Sen. Robert Byrd, the West Virginia Democrat who passed away at 92 after an eventful life. Back in 1975, the Atlantic billed Byrd as “The Man Who Runs the Senate,” while skipping details about Byrd’s career as a community organizer for the Ku Klux Klan.
In 1942, when he was 25, Byrd formed a new Klan chapter in Sophia, West Virginia, and in 1944 Byrd wrote to segregationist Senator Theodore Bilbo, Mississippi Democrat: “I shall never fight in the armed forces with a Negro by my side. Rather I should die a thousand times, and see Old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds.” Byrd claimed he left the Klan, but in public life the stank of racism was still wafting strong.
In 1967, Byrd voted against the confirmation of Thurgood Marshall, the first African American nominated to the U.S. Supreme Court. In 1991, when embattled Bush nominee Clarence Thomas pushed back against the “high-tech lynching of uppity blacks,” Byrd dismissed it a “diversionary tactic.” Sen. Joe Biden joined the former Ku Klucker in voting against Thomas. Nearly 20 years later, Sen. Biden was still looking up to the man who not only elevated the Senate but embodied it. READ MORE

Question for Bob Byrd: do crosses burn in hell?

Now Iran coming forward with more damning statements about Obama-Biden money shenanigans. Love these October surprises, but wish they’d have been exposed sooner. Too bad Biden doesn’t throw his hands up in the air and scream, “I quit!”.
They should have had their KKK robes and hoods cleaned and pressed before going on their anti Catholic tirade against Barrett.
Ever wonder why sometimes the people not supposed to be prejudiced are (i.e. Northern white liberals) the most biased when nobodies looking? As a church pastor who served a church slightly south of the Mason-Dixon line they were very proud of the “slaves burial ground” next to the church that the white massa’s used for their slaves. And they usually resisted any outreach to the poor (lest it be given to “those peoples”). This isn’t very far from where Mr. Bryd hung out.
Did he elevate the Senate on a piece of Rope?
Let me get this right… Biden and Harris both have team members with COVID. That means Kamel Toe is a ‘super spreader’ in more ways than one, correct??
