Robert Byrd both disavowed his KKK membership and was never in a leadership role.
"Robert C. Byrd, a Democrat, was a recruiter for the Klan while in his 20s and 30s, rising to the title of
Kleagle and Exalted Cyclops of his local chapter."

Good to know the Democrats are OK with him being a decades long member and an Exalted Cyclops (not Grand Wizard) in the KKK. It's also OK that Hillary refers to him as "her mentor" and "the heart and soul of America."
But, what's NOT okay, according to liberals, is when some random Ex-KKK member who has nothing at all to do with Trump comes out of nowhere, half-endorses him, then takes it back. That is just totally unacceptable and can only mean that Trump loves the KKK and is literally Hitler. Lmao.
Democrats are a bunch of clowns. It's no wonder they have no credibility.
"Byrd joined the Klan at the ripe young age of 24 — hardly a young’un by today’s standards, much less those of 1944, when Byrd refused to join the military because he might have to serve alongside “race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds,” according to a letter Byrd wrote to Sen. Theodore Bilbo at the height of World War II."
"From the 11th paragraph of the LA Times’ Byrd obituary: “Byrd was not always a champion of liberal causes. He had come of age as a member of the Ku Klux Klan and cast a “no” vote on the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964 that prohibited discrimination against African Americans and others."
"MSNBC.com reported that “Byrd’s success on the national stage came despite a complicated history on racial matters. As a young man, we was a member of the Ku Klux Klan for a brief period, and he joined Southern Democrats in an unsuccessful filibuster against the landmark 1964 Civil Rights."
