'Here come the sweater tears': Chris Hayes can't handle the truth about Robert Byrd

Time for your periodic reminder that Chris Hayes is a colossal douchebag:

Nice to see GOP House Leadership unanimously and unequivocally assure all of us that their colleague is not, in fact, a Neo Nazi.

Kinda sounds like it, doesn’t it? What’s great, though, is that when it comes to certain other politicians, Chris doesn’t have to just hope they’re actual, for-realsies racists. Robert Byrd, anyone?

@chrislhayes
As opposed to the late Senator Robert Byrd who actually belonged to the KKK. Glad you cleared this up for us.

Yep. Here’s what Chris had to say when confronted with reality:

Appeared the Scalise situation could be problematic for GOP, but #tcot just reminded me that Robert Byrd was in the Klan. So let's move on.
