You have to be kidding! There was plenty of whitewashing done on the Annie Lee Moss case but it was by Democrat committee members like Stuart Symington, Scoop Jackson and Carl Mundt and "reporters" like Jack Anderson, Lately Thomas and Richard Fried. Leftist "historians" have since repeated their lies and turned them into the "conventional wisdom."
Democrats on the committee were briefed well advance on details of the Moss FBI report. They knew she was a Communist and they concocted a phony charade about her mistaken identity that played well to the media to cover their sorry political butts. McCarthy was "Borked" long before the word was even invented!
It was Karl Mundt, R-SD, and he was a rare McCarthy ally. Half of the Republicans voted to censure McCarthy.
Moss’s biggest defender was Stuart Symington, who had ties to HST.

Sorry, pal, but Mundt was a very conservative Republican, well-known for his anti-Communism.
“McCarthy was “Borked” long before the word was even invented!”
“The politics of personal destruction,” that is what was done to Senator Joseph McCarthy.
