The House Committee on Un-American Activities (HCUA) or House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC, 1938–1975) . . . .

I know that HUAC is the most oft used name.. but I also remember that HUAC was used to denigrate the House Committee investigating activities threatening our Republic by labeling those efforts "House Un-American Activities." It was a clever ploy by the CP/USA, 1960s Marxist/Alinsky campus revolutionary rabble, and MSM.

Most Americans are apolitical, the repetitive use of the pejorative "HUAC" had a major impact IMO.

I hear you, but the House can name it whatever they want. For some reason, just thought of the YouTube video, "It's too late to Apologize." i.e., we can't be PC about this, just get on with it. . .
