Maybe the word "
was" is pretty important to consider. Byrd "filibustered against the 1964 Civil Rights Act and supported the Vietnam War, but later renounced racism and segregation"
Robert Byrd - Wikipedia
Also this: "While in office, he earned the praises of civil rights advocates. However, prior to his political career, Byrd was a high-ranking member of the Ku Klux Klan during the early 1940s."
