the rise of Mao Zedong
The success of the Chinese Communist Revolution as well as the Korean War were both view by some as failures of U.S. foreign policy. The Berlin Wall and Cuban Missile Crisis happenedafter McCarthy's wild and reckless accusations, while the Russian Revolution took place three decades prior.
McCarthy and his side kick was Cohn.
His charge that the Army was full of communists was a step beyond believability and common decency.
Senator Joseph McCarthy
Margaret Chase Smith
in December 1954, the senate voted to censure, or formally criticize, him for "conduct unbecoming a senator"
They were not justified. Senator Joe McCartney branded many people communists who were not and ruined their lives. He was a disgrace to the USA and to the Senate. One of the worst elected officials in the history of our nation. Communism was a threat in the 1950s, but, that did not excuse McCarthy's witch hunts. He was a terrible person. Cruel and evil. The ends did not justify the means.
Senator Gaylord Nelson.
