Trump brings up that Clinton considered former KKK member Byrd as her mentor

I like a person who had the ability and strength of character to disavow a former wrong ideology.

It shows an ability to grow as a person. I respect Governor Wallace and Robert Byrd for having condemned their past hateful ideology.

although by the time they were mentoring hillary they may still have been racists :)
 
Isn't there a limit to the mileage that righties should get out of one person?

Whenever there is a discussion about racism, it always comes around to...Byrd!

I don't think HRC ever met Wallace. Do you have some evidence of that, or just wishful thinking on your part?

If you look at HRC's life, starting with one of her first jobs working with the Southern Poverty Law Center she tried to work FOR equality.

Byrd was very candid that he joined and quit for the same reason, political gain.

NAACP MOURNS THE PASSING OF U.S. SENATOR ROBERT BYRD

June 29, 2010
Longest Serving Member of Congress Became a Champion for Civil Rights and Liberties

WASHINGTON, DC - The NAACP is saddened by the passing of United States Senator Robert Byrd. Byrd, the longest serving member of congress was first elected to the U.S. House from in 1952 and was elected Senator in 1958. Byrd passed away this morning at the age of 92.

"Senator Byrd reflects the transformative power of this nation," stated NAACP President and CEO Benjamin Todd Jealous. "Senator Byrd went from being an active member of the KKK to a being a stalwart supporter of the Civil Rights Act, the Voting Rights Act and many other pieces of seminal legislation that advanced the civil rights and liberties of our country.

"Senator Byrd came to consistently support the NAACP civil rights agenda, doing well on the NAACP Annual Civil Rights Report Card. He stood with us on many issues of crucial importance to our members from the reauthorization of the Voting Rights Act, the historic health care legislation of 2010 and his support for the Hate Crimes Prevention legislation," stated Hilary O. Shelton, Director of the NAACP Washington Bureau and Senior Vice President for Advocacy and Policy. "Senator Byrd was a master of the Senate Rules, and helped strategize passage of legislation that helped millions of Americans. He will be sorely missed."

Founded in 1909, the NAACP is the nation's oldest and largest civil rights organization. Its members throughout the United States and the world are the premier advocates for civil rights in their communities, conducting voter mobilization and monitoring equal opportunity in the public and private sectors.

Blame West Virginia Democrats for hoisting him on us for 50 years. Men like Wallace and Byrd should have stepped down from office in shame if they really felt remorse for their worthless stupidity.
 
It would appear the demalquedacrats are worried that Trump is going to siphon off some negro votes. He doesn't need many and her support isn't that deep to begin with.
