Several members of the U.S. Congress and Senate were affiliated with the Ku Klux Klan, particularly during the early to mid-20th century. Notably, Senator Robert Byrd of West Virginia, who served from 1959 to 2010, was a former Klan member in the 1940s. Additionally, Congressman John E. Rankin of Mississippi, who served from 1921 to 1933 and again from 1935 to 1943, was known for his Klan affiliations and racist rhetoric. These associations highlight the historical intersection of political power and racial extremism in the United States.
