LOL. So actually joining the KKK to get elected is okay if you are a democrat, but if you are a republican and you don't denounce David Duke hard and fast enough you are a racist.

It wasn't fleeting. He was a member for years as a rep.

"Byrd joined with other Southern and border state Democrats to filibuster the Civil Rights Act of 1964, personally filibustering the bill for 14 hours — a move he now says he regrets.[7] Despite an 83 day filibuster in the Senate, both parties in Congress voted overwhelmingly in favor of the Act, and President Johnson signed the bill into law.[8] He also opposed the Voting Rights Act of 1965, but voted for the Civil Rights Act of 1968."

And he also used the term "White n*gger" to prove that America is beyond racism.

Well at least we know, that it is acceptable to tell any form of lie with impunity, if it is a good cause like running for re-election. This speaks volumes of low life, scum politicians.
