McCarthy claimed that there were known communists in the State Department. He held investigations and hearings and did ruin many careers. Presidents Truman and Eisenhower so feared his influence with the public that they did nothing to stop him. When McCarthy attacked the US Army as a hotbed of communist activity, the Senate finally censored him and he died a broken politician.
The general fear of communism that happened in the US following World War I, and the start of the Cold War after World War II, pitting the western democracies against communism, gave McCarthy the chance to make his charges against the government. It is believed by many that his goal was to enhance his political career and he had no proof of many of his accusations. However, given the temper of the population at the time, many supported his claims.
