If you read the entire article, McCarthy had no interest in left coast celbutards—that’s the lie you learned in tax payer funded indoctrination centers.
McCarthy’s only interest was in communist operatives in the goverment that had infiltrated after WWII. FDR himself knew about it—he once said he didn’t care some of his best friends were commies.
It was the House committee that questioned celebtards. McCarthy was a senator.
I didn’t have this information. As I try to remember my history classes, there was very little to no information on McCarthy. Seems like one of those things that is not taught.
I wonder what Senator Mccarthy would think of the current administration...
Ann Coulter covers the topic quite well in a section of one of her books.
There was actually a lot of red infiltration during WWII as Russia was our so-called ally. Roosevelt and the State Department let in a lot of people who normally would not get a gov job under the pretext that they were helpful to the war effort. Naturally, a great many of them stayed on after the war.
