In 1950, joseph mccarthy waved a piece of paper in front of his audience and claimed to hold in his hand a list of people. according to mccarthy, who were these people?
He claimed to have 205 names of people who are known members of the communist party and still work for the state department. This is where he crossed the line since people knew that there were no communists in the military or the foreign affairs so he started losing support and eventually it was discovered that he was just frightening everyone without a reason.
