That is because no Republican is as old as him. He is a coincidence - really - there are few Senators of his age, and there is a very small that out of the quite small number of Congressmen two are both that old and former KKK members. Do not ignore what I said in my previous post.
When he was young, Democrats were the racists. When he was first elected, the nation was still largely racist. And he was elected. He did a bully job as a Senator, and we all know that it is nearly impossible to unseat Senators in US when they are at least somewhat popular. Senate is a House of Incumbents.
You gave me one example. Yet the examples of racism-tainted Republicans abound. I do not even have to research it - you can look it up yourself, it is simple.
