I can also remember that both JFK and his father thought very highly of Senator McCarthy as well.

Bobby Kennedy worked for McCarthy:

“In December 1952, at the behest of his father, Kennedy was appointed by family friend Republican Senator Joseph McCarthy as assistant counsel of the U.S. Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations,[64][65] However, Kennedy disapproved of the senator’s aggressive methods of garnering intelligence on suspected communists.[66] This was a highly visible job for him. He resigned in July 1953, but “retained a fondness for McCarthy”.”

RFK went to Wisconsin to attend Joseph McCarthy’s funeral. Joe McCarthy was the godfather of Bobby’s oldest daughter.
