Senator Joseph McCarthy was an anti-Communist activist in the U.S. He was a crazy man of alcoholism. Americans feared that communism was going to spread around the world. McCarthy did not help the fear, he took advantage of people's concerns about communism. He even charged the Democratic Party guilty for allowing Communist infiltration into the government. Accusing the soldiers in the U.S. Army was a big mistake, which was on national television. This hurt him being a Senator, convicted of improper conduct.
