McCarthy's list refers to the list of alleged communists and communist sympathizers in the United States that Senator Joseph McCarthy claimed to have during the early 1950s. This list was part of his broader campaign against perceived communist infiltration in the U.S. government and other institutions, which led to widespread fear and the practice of McCarthyism—characterized by aggressive investigations and questioning. The lack of credible evidence behind many of McCarthy's accusations contributed to a climate of paranoia and eventually led to his political downfall.
