“Joe is one of my heroes, just wish he had given up his information before he died. I haven’t bought into anything. My post was about having information and not giving it up, much like Joe”

Joe McCarthy did go public with information about communists that was why he was sabotaged and ultimately destroyed.

McCarthy gathered a great deal of information about communist infiltration of the government. He discovered communist infiltration of the Army facility at Fort Monmouth and the communists ability to obtain very sensitive military information. This had to be covered up and that was what led to the famous Army McCarthy hearings and McCarthy's censor by the Senate.

Only after McCarthy had been removed from his committee chairmanship did the leftists spread the lies that McCarthy never identified any real communists.

The truth was the exact opposite.

I know Ike didn’t like McCarthy or his tactics, and I’ve always wondered why. Maybe McCarthy WAS getting to friends of Ike, and he didn’t like it. Again, history has borne out the truth. McCarthy was spot on about commies in the State Department.

Even though I agree with you (and history), my point seems to have been missed.

My point was that Trump seems to be touting knowledge the rest of us don’t know. Knowledge he should be sharing with the rest of us. Joe kept saying the same thing yet never gave us the information (until he was besmirched to the point he was considered unbelievable), and Trump seems to be heading in the same direction.
