McCarthy would accuse members of the Senate to be Communists. He would make these accusations on the Senate floor, holding up papers (they were in fact random pieces of paper) that "proved" his accusations. He never had any proof, and he only did this to steal other people's ranks. Nobody questioned him, though, because doing so would "make them a Communist."
The red scare ended when McCarthy was sensured.

The Red Scare in the United States started in 1919, sparked by the Russian Revolution. There was also the Second Red Scare in the 1950s, driven by figures such as Joseph McCarthy.
The Second Red Scare of 1947 to 1957 was dominated by Senator Joseph McCarthy (R) from Wisconsin.
Senator Joseph McCarthy accused hundreds of actors, directors, and screenwriters of Communism with his Hollywood Blacklist. Many of the entertainment professionals were barred from their professions.
