Treading carefully while not speaking ill of the dead, obvious questions should be asked in the ramp-up to our traditional glorification of elected royalty.
How would the media and liberal establishment today react to a GOP politician who was a former Klan recruiter? Seems to me a Republican with such a past would have been rightfully destroyed in the media prior to a primary, let alone sit unscathed by past associations long enough to be the longest sitting United States Senator.
In an attempt of post mortem damage control, CNN is covering for the legacy of Senator Byrd by including his quote that joining the Klan was “the greatest mistake of my life”, while showing little outrage of his 14 hour, 13 minute filibuster to kill the 1964 Civil Rights Act, which Democrats falsely and brazenly claim to have always supported.
