Best Answer

McCarthy's lack of evidence proved to be his downfall. He claimed to have a list of people who were in the communist party. Research shows that he never showed anyone an updated list of those members. Anytime he did not get what he wanted he would claim that anyone was a communist. This also led to his downfall. He accused one of the most decorated soldiers in the army of being a communist. While this trial of accusations were continuing, he was being watched closely by Americans through the television. His rude out burst and vulgar accusations initially led to his downfall. McCarthy's lack of evidence proved to be his downfall. He claimed to have a list of people who were in the communist party.
