The transition from when racism was cool to when it was not, was hard on many politicians. Take Joe Biden for instance. Biden made multiple false claims that he participated in the Civil Right Movement. Biden falsely claimed he was arrested in South Africa. In the early 1970s, Biden even lived in a home with a racially restricted deed.

PS. Byrd never left the Klan. He got angry at CBS 60 Minutes and left in a huff when they asked him about it.
Weeks later his PR flack sent them a press release stating he did. There's no audio or video of him ever saying it and those who knew his PR guy used to tease him about it.

You think Byrd stopped his way of thinking? BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! *snort laugh* BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Just because he quit the KKK doesn't mean he stopped being a racist. He just became a smarter racist.
