Clinton&#8217;s speaking on it was actually, if you bother with its merit, in its kind of politically incorrect and apologetic nature, controversial &#8212; and could be adapted to use for someone like Storm Thurmond &#8212; probably to stunted effect short of where a partisan wishes to go with it, but nonetheless Thurmond is a better analogy for Byrd than &#8230; (Looking down in this comments section)&#8230;  &#8220;some guy no one&#8217;s heard of.&#8221; &#8212; A decade and a half out, Byrd &#8212;  now most famous as the master of federal fund procurement into his state &#8212; is receding into memory and the latest generation &#8220;Zoomer&#8221; knows jack about him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Wasn&#8217;t Biden friends with an actual KKK Grand Wizard? <\/em>Short answer: no.  <em>Didn&#8217;t he go to his funeral and give a eulogy? Trump is an idiot and plays footsy with white nationalist, Biden was actual friends with the leadership of the KKK.<\/em>  Again: no.  Byrd.  Minor low level Klan member.  Dumped when he got into electoral politics.  Not a high level member, let alone Chief Honcho.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Oh goody!
