Silly parallel.
The idea, which can be disputed, is that the McCarthy “witch hunts” were targetting Commies (or witches) that didn’t exist.
In this case, I don’t think anybody is denying the truth of the charges. They just think the abuses should be ignored.
Personally, I suspect this is the tip of the iceberg for Europe’s unitary business/media/political ruling class.
Yeah, I guess some liberal newsman thinks he can gloss over the corruption by claiming it’s a “McCarthy witchhunt”.
No, it’s “corruption”, and it wasn’t corruption, they wouldn’t be embarrassed to be found out. I hope they all get voted out next time.
What was it Bush Sr, tried to tell us, “Character matters”.
