Joseph McCarthy was the man.
No. He served in the Senate and led the "Red Scare" investigations in the 1950s. He died in 1957.
It proved to the world how crazy his allegations were when he accused so many innocent Americans of communism.

Senator Joseph McCarthy (a Republican from ) is best known for his role in the "Red Scare" of the 1950s, so much so that a new term for a "witch hunt" of suspected enemies with little or no proof emerged: "McCarthyism".Following World War 2, it quickly became clear that wartime ally the Soviet Union would become a rival for global power with the United States. This, combined with the Communist victory in the Chinese Civil War in 1949, led to an epidemic of paranoia over the "Red Menace", which McCarthy capitalized on by accusing members of the US State Department of being communist sympathizers. He was fond of claiming he had "a list of names" of known communists in the government. McCarthy even went so far as to accuse high-ranking members of the military of communist leanings; it was his attacks on the military that seem to have finally turned people against McCarthy, as even President Eisenhower (also a Republican), finally denounced the wayward Senator, after having remained silent on the issue of McCarthyism.
His evidence consisted largely of scare, innuendo, and slippery-slope arguments, a lot like much of present-day 'conservative' talk radio and TV.
It was World War 2. The Red Scare is the fear of the spreading of Communism.
It was the scare that the soviets would spread communism over the world.
The rest of the world and the democratic governments were afraid that communism would spread to other places. Much like today when some people think about terrorism.
The term "Red Scare" refers to periods of heightened anti-communist sentiment, fear, and persecution in the United States. This term is often associated with the First Red Scare following World War I and the Second Red Scare during the Cold War era in the 1950s. It typically involves government actions to suppress perceived communist threats and dissent.
