Joe McCarthy was a great American patriot, and if you ever find yourself in an argument about McCarthy with some liberal, ask them to explain why Bobby Kennedy not only worked for McCarthy, but McCarthy was a family friend of the Kennedys, and there are very few (if any) recorded instances of ANY Kennedy saying anything critical of Joe.
Don’t expect them to have an explanation, they will most likely sputter, drool, turn purple and rip their hair out, lol.
Bobby thought so highly of Joe McCarthy that he asked him to be his daughter's Godfather. And Bobby flew to Wisconsin for Joe's funeral.
