He kinda had it coming. No senator should be senator on morphine and alcohol.

@Green Do you have any idea what McCarthy did or how he destroyed people's lives or are you a complete moron?

McCarthy was bad but Roy Cohn was outright evil.

The United States is very much not shifted to the right lol

he drank like a fish (so much so that it was noticed in a time where everyone drank) and was addicted to morphine, all while living a highly stressful and strenuous lifestyle while already being medically unwell. frankly its surprising he lasted as long as he did!

@@sm_liam5279 Not only that, but the stress from his sudden fall from grace and his rejection from mainstream politics likely accelerated his death too.

He drank so heavily that his liver gave out.

Because he had no shame at long last.

No such luck.

Ok Communist

No he did not. Unless you’re a communist sympathizer. You have to be blind to history and gullible.

@@ernestwilkinson6747 1. The Nathan Silvermaster group: Silvermaster (“Pal”) was a Treasury Department official who headed a spy network that included both Currie and White, as well as George Silverman (“Eleron”), an analyst for the U.S. Army Air Force, who provided information regarding American military aviation; Frank Coe (“Pick,” “Peak”), director of the division of monetary research in the Treasury Department; and Solomon Adler (“Sax”), the Treasury Department’s representative in China. Coe, Adler, and White aided the Communist cause by using their authority to delay delivery of a large Congressionally approved gold loan to China’s Nationalist government, then fighting Mao Tse-tung’s forces. The delay caused China’s monetary unit to depreciate in value, and the ensuing inflation undercut public support for the Nationalist government, hindering its fight against Communism.14 2. The Victor Perlo group: Perlo (“Raid”) was a senior economist in the War Production Board, supervising U.S. military industrial production. His group included several Soviet sources. One of them, Harold Glasser (“Ruble”), was a senior Treasury Department economist. Another, Charles Kramer (“Mole”), was a U.S. congressional staff member. A third, Duncan Lee (“Kokh”), was a lieutenant colonel in the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), forerunner of the CIA, and an aide to its director, William Donovan.15 3. Atomic bomb espionage: Although U.S. counterintelligence efforts were more stringent to protect the Manhattan Project, the top-secret effort to develop an atomic bomb before the Nazis, they were risibly lax regarding Communists. As one example, J. Robert Oppenheimer, known since late-1942 to the FBI as a secret member of the CPUSA, was appointed scientific/administrative head of the atom bomb project.16 This decision, in light of Oppenheimer’s expertise and the fact that he was not actively cooperating with Soviet Intelligence, was perhaps a risk worth taking. Nevertheless, Soviet intelligence agents permeated the Manhattan Project. Klaus Fuchs (“Rest”), a German physicist, Communist, and major contributor to the Manhattan Project, supplied the Soviets important information regarding “Enormoz,” Soviet code name for the project.17 Likewise, Theodore Hall (“Mlad”), a young American physicist and Communist, was a valuable source of information.18 Above all, there was the spy ring headed by Julius Rosenberg (“Liberal”), an American engineer, Communist, and a longtime agent of Soviet Intelligence. Rosenberg induced his wife’s brother, David Greenglass (“Bumblebee”), an American Communist and machinist working on the “Enormoz” project in New Mexico, to pass along secrets to their Soviet spymasters.19 John Earl Haynes and Harvey Klehr, two leading experts on Soviet espionage, concluded: “[N]umerous secret Communists and Soviet sympathizers eagerly volunteered to deliver American military, technological, and diplomatic secrets to Stalin.”20

@@joeschmoe8264 Oh No, Joe. McCarthy just locked into the 'Cold War' fears of the American people in the 1950's. He was a narcissistic opportunist, who ultimately, drank himself to death when his '15 minutes of fame' (should that be infamy?), came to a juddering halt. An odious individual; nearly on a par with any of those that betrayed their country. Hopefully, you're a 'Regular Joe' and not a Stalin or McCarthy type one.

You're a clown

Misunderstood?!.. Joe McCarthy was an open book, man..

I love that this guy is so far right that his autocorrect actually goes to “heil” instead of “hail”, it’s as if his computer has had a Freudian slip lol

Look I understand if you don't like communism. I don't like communism and I don't like fascism. But you do not want someone like Joseph McCarthy fighting for you. It's like taking arsenic to cure you're influenza. By all means, seek Justice.

@Ahmad Hijaz Ethel and Julius Rosenberg, executed in June 1953 for atomic espionage, were guilty; Alger Hiss, a darling of the establishment was guilty; Robert Oppenheimer was also guilty. Likewise, dozens of lesser known persons (e.g. Victor Perlo, Judith Coplon, Harry Gold) whose innocence of accusations had been a tenet of leftist faith for decades were also traitors. Theodore Alvin Hall, a Harvard-trained physicist, was also passing secrets about the atomic bomb. Loss of its secrets allowed Soviets to promote Communism all across Asia. And the spies caught by the Vernona project were a minority: the Project had managed to only decode 3 000 messages out of 25 000 that were intercepted. From this small number of documents, the government was able to uncover names of over 300 Americans working as Soviet spies and agents, with positions in major corporations, development boards and government agencies. The Vernona papers also indicated that the Communist Party of America was actively assisting Soviet spies in their actions against the US. CPUSA was, in fact, an instrument of the Soviet policy, controlled directly from Moscow. Hundreds of its members worked as spies for the Soviet Union, their “Communist Motherland”. The party chief, Earl Browder, knowingly assisted Soviet spies. Thus, CPUSA membership on the part of US Government employees was a significant security risk. PS maybe you’re the traitor heejaz

@Ahmad Hijaz He identified actual radical communist infiltrators. I have the list and you can look up each person if you would like. The long scope of history has borne out his claims. Start with the Rosenbergs. If he hadn’t outed them, you may not have even been born. Here’s the real issue: The mainstream media sold you a bill of goods. Nothing has changed in Congress by the way sir.

@Ahmad Hijaz a better way to phrase that is *he exposed many treacherous anti-American traitors who ruined their own lives by conspiring against their own country* I take it you think the Rosenbergs were wholesome and patriotic Americans?

If you're a Nazi.

That is the tip of the iceberg. Once you dig deeper, you will find someone else before him was also right

Right? The man was a walking punchline, not because of fears of communists but because he used that fearmongering to bolster his power. He made it so laughable to fear soviet spies that he did more to help the USSR than most actual spies. NEVER confuse a man's arrogance for being right.

He was a National disgrace.
