McCarthy wanted to pull up the weeds while there were only one or two in the garden. Instead, they were allowed to flourish, and today’s Democrat party is the result.

He was right the whole time... It’s when the MSM commenced as the cornerstone of all ‘fake’ news, from that point to the present.

NO. NOT EARLY. He was a visionary and he saw the truth and it smacked him right in the face. That was the time to nip it in the bud.

Actually he was late. The media had already been infected by the commies and controlled the narrative.

McCarthy was right!......he was prescient in knowing the direction we were going

Now our valiant President has to pull up all the chaff allowed to grow these many years in our government
......of course someday God will pull ALL the chaff

My devout Godmother, (God rest her soul) always proclaimed, "Joseph McCarthy was a saint, and don't you ever forget it!"

I vividly remember her going to Church every morning to light a candle and pray for Joseph McCarthy.

My tag line for the last five years.

The infection has spread to the entire body.

McCarthy was vindicated by Soviet archives, the Venona Papers, by M. Stanton Evans.

I was surprised that the Commies stopped him cold with just one question, when all the evidence was on is side. The beginning of ‘emotion politics’ the Dems have been pulling ever since.

Joe McCarthy wasn’t early.

After the Soviet collapse the Soviet Venona files proved every Government worker he went after actually was a Soviet operative.

House Committee on Un-American Activities.

The Communist Left has tried to insinuate that the House’s activities were un-American.

Sen. McCarthy illustrates the effectiveness of the Deep State smear machine. Some bimbo at a Virginia university teaches that Sen. McCarthy ran the House committee. This was repeated by Bill O’Reilly. History is rewritten. FDR got on TV when the stock market crashed. The Emperor Hirihito signed the surrender document on the Missouri. Everything goes down the memory hole.

McCarthy, Ayn Rand and Whitaker Chambers gave us the heads up when tide could still be turned. Very few listened, Ronald Reagan being one.

The USSR should never have been able to flourish post war but that was FDR’s gift to America. I hate Commies and all of their spawn we have today.

Joe McCarthy nailed it! He wasn’t “early”. He pointed out the commies in government and got destroyed by the dem/libs and the MSM. The democRATS of the day were a breeding ground for the commies.

Yep, and a few other things besides McCarthy being right

The HUAC was started and run by (D) reps whose
party controlled Congress for the majority
of 50 years - libs always try to infer it was a GOP construct

Imagine how much more thriving our economy
would have been if we didn’t have to
spend $ and blood to counter the Reds

Truman was a terrible President for many
reasons especially in this regard

No he was not early.

He was late, and so are we.

Actually he was late.

Whittaker Chambers, Walter Krivitsky and others provided the FDR administration with details of Soviet penetration of our government in 1939, but the administration refused to act. Had they nailed Alger Hiss & Co. at that time, the latter decades of the 20th century would have been happier for the whole world.
