Why did j Edgar hoover hate chaplin?

Answer 1

Hoover, like many of his kind of people, defined anyone who disagreed with his own political views as a traitor. In addition, Hoover deeply admired the system set up by the Communists, where the government would spy, collect information, and blackmail people who were never even suspected of any crime and were absolutely no threat to their country. Millions of tax dollars were spent on these activities, with no benefit other than to satisfy Hoover's paranoia and greed for power.
