Byrd Hails White Supremacist as 'My Mentor' Senate Grand Kleagle Robert Byrd, D-W.Va., is defending his decision to honor a once prominent white supremacist politician by naming the Senate's primary office building after him, calling the notorious racist "my mentor." Byrd, a former Ku Klux Klansman, had cosponsored the legislation that named the Richard Russell Senate Office Building after the long dead Georgia Democrat 31-years ago. "He was kind of my mentor," Byrd said recently, noting that Sen. Russell was known as an expert on Senate rules, much like himself.
