Sen. Robert Byrd of West Virgina was a member of the Klan in the 1940's and expressed remorse for his association with them. He was not an "exalted ruler." He later served in Congress from 1953 thru his death in 2010. The photo was taken in 2008 at a political campaign event. https://www.reuters.com/article/uk-factcheck-byrd-eulogy-biden-kkk-grand/fact-checkrobert-byrdeulogized-by-joe-bidenat-funeralwas-notkkkgrandwizard-idUSKBN26S2EE
