Which U.S. Senator holds the record for the longest continuous term in office?

Oliver Twist, Byrd later regretted his time in the Klan (in the 1940s) as “the greatest mistake” in his life. Sure, it took him decades to fully oppose racism and segregation, but I take my hat off to the man who eventually escaped from the claws of a very ingrained part of his upbringing.

I knew him, he was very proud of his record

Interesting that the Democrats say they are the party of certain demographics, but their longest serving member was fairly high up in the klan.

He was also a member of the KKK.
