GP really should fix that headline. Robert Byrd got as far as Exalted Cyclops in the Klan. That’s much higher than Kleagle.
I looked it up.
A Kleagle is a Klan recruiter.
An Exalted Cyclops is THE local Klan leader.
Yep, you are correct that he did reach that title or rank or whatever it’s called. 🙂
