The US domestic security chief on Wednesday compared current anti-Muslim sentiment to the anti-communist “Red Scare” of the 1940s and ‘50s, suggesting that divisive statements by Republican presidential candidates are to blame.
Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson, who is black, noted that his grandfather was forced to testify in front of the House of Representatives in 1949.
“He had to, in the height of the Red Scare, to deny he was a member of the communist party, and went on to give an impassioned statement about how American negroes are patriotic,” Johnson said at a conference in Washington about countering violent extremism.

The commies were trying to take over, and they did, witness Obama and Sanders as two examples.
Damnable foolish statements.
As if the Soviet Communists and the Chinese Communists were not deadly threats.
Very true since the red scare was legit
So your grandfather was a communist? He must be proud of you.
“He had to, in the height of the Red Scare, to deny he was a member of the communist party, and went on to give an impassioned statement about how American negroes are patriotic,” Johnson said at a conference...”
He “had to”?
Why not, “my father was happy to testify he was not a member of the communist party etc...”

Utter. Bull. Sh*t.
It’s kind of similar. In the 40’s and 50’s the government was full to the brim with communists, many of them actively taking orders from the Kremlin, that was proven.
His first level of incompetence would have been swinging a mop.
What does War have to do with this?
Well the Red’s weren’t out there slaughtering men, women and children sometimes in the most horrific manner imaginable.
I remember when the Communists blew up the Empire State Building in 1952.
Apples and oranges.
Security Chief compares himself to a complete idiot and succeeds ...
His named is “Jeh”?
Is jeh really such a moron? Homeland Security “chief”??? Note to all American Citizens: buy lots of ammo and guns.
