Robert Byrd denounced the klan. Republicans happily accepted Strom Thurmond and Jesse Helms.That's right, folks.
Any political party that was associated with slavery should be dismantled tomorrow.
"Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) introduced a House resolution Thursday calling on lawmakers to ban organizations or political groups that have historically supported the Confederacy or slavery in the U.S., a list he said includes the Democratic Party.
“A great portion of the history of the Democratic Party is filled with racism and hatred. Since people are demanding we rid ourselves of the entities, symbols, and reminders of the repugnant aspects of our past, then the time has come for Democrats to acknowledge their party’s loathsome and bigoted past, and consider changing their party name to something that isn’t so blatantly and offensively tied to slavery, Jim Crow, discrimination, and the Ku Klux Klan,” Gohmert said in a statement."

GOP’s Gohmert introduces resolution that would ban the Democratic Party

Once AGAIN the Confederacy had no political parties. It was not "supported" by Democrats. Fun fact: Lincoln's vice-president ....... was a Democrat.
It ain't surprising that this lunacy came from Louie Gohmert. That screwball's an embarrassment to Texas.
Robert Byrd was the Grand Wizard of the Democrat party. Now take some responsibility for once in your life and denounce your racist past.
I'll give it to Byrd - he regretted it, and he worked hard to make up for it. They will never let him (posthumously now) forget it though.
