Amid push to remove Confederate monuments, little outrage over Robert Byrd’s namesakes in home state

FoxNews–Confederate monuments are being taken down or vandalized in cities across the country in the wake of George Floyd’s death in police custody — but so far the revived push to remove symbols of slavery and segregation has largely overlooked the late Democratic senator who was a former Ku Klux Klan member yet later rejected those views.

West Virginia Sen. Robert Byrd’s legacy is visible throughout his home state of West Virginia, with his name on numerous buildings and roads.

Byrd was a former member of the Klu Klux Klan who later regretted that affiliation, renounced his past views supporting segregation and described it as a mistake.

Here’s a ‘short-list’ of the Ku Klux Klan’s Democratic Senator, Kleagle and Exalted Cyclops, Robert C. Byrd’s namesakes. Where’s the cry to have them renamed, cancelled, or torn down?
