Sen. Robert Byrd, who passed away at 92 early Monday morning, served longer in the Senate and Congress than anyone in American history—and he witnessed a good chunk of it.
The New Deal Democrat was also a Dixiecrat who, as a young man, joined the Klan. Byrd would go on to apologize a thousand times, in his words, and will be remembered by many as one of the few and finest voices resisting the Iraq war.
