“McCarthy didn’t target Hollywood????!!!!!!! Hard to have a discussion with you when you make a 100% false statement.”

Really? Well I find it easy to have a discussion with you, it’s like playing Whack-A-Mole.

The investigations into Hollywood were done by HUAC, the House Committee on Un-American Activities, not by the Senate. They were led by Martin Dies, and Joe McCarthy was nowhere to be seen.

McCarthy’s absence is easy to understand (maybe not by you) since Joe McCarthy was never in the House. His first election to office was to the Senate in 1946.

McCarthy didn’t make a name for himself as an anti-Communist warrior until 1950 with his Wheeling, W Va speech and that dealt entirely with the State Department, not Hollywood. All of his investigations dealt with State, the Army, or other branches of government.

McCarthy was never involved in investigating Hollywood, despite the babbling of ignoramuses who fantasize that McCarthy had something to do with the Blacklist. But please feel free to look for some evidence linking McCarthy to Hollywood, it will keep you busy until you tire of it and give up.

Good luck with your hunt. All that you will find are the rantings of Leftists who share your fact-free belief that McCarthy was involved in the Blacklist.
