McCarthy was censured and told to sit in back of the senate and keep quiet. The red scare dwindled a bit. The intellectuals dropped it but it continued strongly amongst the rabble - even today. McCarthy's head lawyer Richard Nixon went on to become the President of the United States, and brought his own brand of self-righteousness with him.
