Joe McCarthy was from Wisconsin.

Eugene McCarthy was from Minnesota.

Plus, Joe was proved right on every formal accusation of politicos being on the USSR’s payroll. When the USSR died their records came out — all of the traitors were listed.

Kinda like all the present US Senators being on Maduro’s payroll.

How did it happen that Minnesota gave us both Joe McCarthy and Ilhan Omar.

Generations of public education using positive reinforcement conditioning coupled with a catastrophic immigration plan beginning in 1964.

A, Joe was right about Hollyweird being chockablock with communists and, B, it wasn’t Joe who conducted the witch hunts, it was the joint House Un-American Activities Committee.

McCarthy was a cheesehead. If we’re talking failed senatorial Democrat presidential candidates, Minnesota gave us Humphrey, McCarthy and Mondale. No political good ever came out of that state, So, Omar is representative of the political trash that has always sullied its landscape.

THe only notable Republicans I know that came from Minnesota were former governors Tim Pawlenty and of course Harold Stassen, who ran for president like nine times.

Wrong guy but Joe McCarthy was correct on Russia spies in the USA.
FDR had them in his cabinet.
FDR staff tried to get U235 sent to Russia under Lend-Lease until Oppenheimer found out and killed it.
Both fully documented in Richard Rhoads “The building of the Hydrogen Bomb”

McCarthy was almost always right, as was proved after the collapse of the Soviet Union when their archives were opened to scrutiny.

Even Hubert Humphrey wouldn’t recognize today’s Democratic Party.
