The Army-McCarthy Hearings of 1954 led to Sen Joseph McCarthy's massive loss of popularity and his later censure.The hearings were an offshoot of McCarthy's campaigns to uncover subversives in government operations, with his attacks on the U.S. Army leading to the first televised government hearings in U.S. history, the Army-McCarthy hearings of 1954.Airing on national television from April 22 and June 17, 1954, for 188 hours of broadcast time in front of 22 million viewers. McCarthy’s frequent interruptions and his calls of "point of order" made him the object of national ridicule.On June 9, the hearings reached their moment of greatest drama, when Army Counsel Joseph Welch told McCarthy " I think I never really gauged your cruelty, or your recklessness. .... Have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last? Have you left no sense of decency?"The gallery broke into applause and two weeks later the hearings came to an inconclusive finish.

Joseph McCarthy began to be discredited in the early 1950s, particularly after the Army-McCarthy hearings in 1954, where his aggressive tactics and unfounded allegations against individuals in the military were publicly scrutinized. The televised hearings revealed his bullying behavior and lack of evidence, leading to a significant decline in public support. By December 1954, the U.S. Senate formally condemned him for unbecoming conduct, marking a definitive end to his influence and power.

Early in 1954, the U.S. Army accused Senator Joseph R. McCarthy (Republican, Wisconsin), and his chief counsel, Roy Cohn, of pressuring the Army to give preferential treatment to former McCarthy aide and friend of Cohn's, G. David Schine. McCarthy claimed that the accusation was made in bad faith, in retaliation for his questioning of Brigadier General Ralph W. Zwicker the previous year. A special committee, under the chairmanship of Senator Karl Mundt, was appointed to adjudicate these conflicting charges, and the hearings opened on April 22, 1954. The hearings were televised, and many believe that they contributed significantly to McCarthy's subsequent decline in popularity. A month before the hearings began, TIME featured a cover story March 22, 1954 , with Cohn & Schine pictured and subtitled, "The Army got its orders." Ten years after the hearings, in 1964, the documentary film Point of Order! was released, which consists of 93 minutes of footage selected from the 187 hours of kinescope that covered the hearings.
The Army-McCarthy hearings, held April through June of 1954, initiated the undoing of Senator Joseph McCarthy as far as his political power was concerned. By year's end McCarthy would be censured by the Senate and completely void of influence.
The action that ultimately ended public support for Senator McCarthy's investigations was the Army-McCarthy hearings in 1954. During these televised hearings, McCarthy's aggressive tactics and unfounded accusations were on full display, particularly when he targeted the U.S. Army. As his bullying demeanor became increasingly apparent, public opinion shifted against him, leading to his censure by the Senate later that year. This marked a significant decline in his influence and support.
