Clinton once referred to Senator who labeled blacks “mongrels” as her “friend and mentor”

Although the media has tried to smear Donald Trump after he was endorsed by ex – Ku Klux Klan member David Duke, Hillary Clinton has escaped examination in spite of the fact that she once praised ex-KKK member Robert Byrd as her “friend and mentor”.

The media has tried to keep Trump on the ropes over the past few days, stressing over and over again that he “disavow” any connection with Duke, irrespective of Trump claiming he had not even heard about the endorsement.

This distraction was invoked over and over again to strengthen the narrative that Trump is appealing to racist voters.

Nevertheless, Hillary has managed to stay away from similar treatment despite her glowing praise for former Senator Robert Byrd, who joined the KKK when he was 24-years-old because he did not want to fight alongside “race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds,” during World War II.

“I shall never fight in the armed forces with a negro by my side,” promised Byrd in a 1944 letter to Sen. Theodore Bilbo (D-MS).

Byrd later wrote another letter in 1946 in which he mentioned that, “The Klan is needed today as never before, and I am anxious to see its rebirth here in West Virginia and in every state in the nation.”

Byrd, who likewise voted against the 1965 Civil Rights Act, later renounced his connection with the Klan, calling it one of the worst mistakes of his life.

Media Rakes Trump Over Duke, Neglects Hillary Praising Ex – KKK Member Robert Byrd

Following his death in 2010, Clinton gave a shining eulogy to Byrd in footage that was uploaded to the State Department’s official YouTube page.

“Today our country has lost a true American original, my friend and mentor Robert C. Byrd,” stated Clinton, praising the Senator as “a man of surpassing eloquence and nobility.”

“From my first day in the Senate, I sought out his guidance, and he was always generous with his time and his wisdom. I admired his tireless advocacy for his West Virginia constituents, his fierce defense of the Constitution and the traditions of the Senate, and his passion for a government that improves the lives of the people it serves,” included Clinton.
 

David Duke split up from the Klan in 1980, 6 years after joining, because he disliked its links with violence.

Even though that Hillary stated she would “continue to rely on (Byrd’s) advice and counsel” even after his death, it’s Trump who is currently in the media crosshairs for his unintended association with a former KKK member, which Clinton’s direct connection with one escapes examination.
