Sen. Joseph McCarthy liked to insist he had evidence of Communists in the government, but he couldn’t show you the names right now. The number of Communist infiltrators on his secret list changed from speech to speech.
Listening to President Trump’s legal team claim over and over again that they have voluminous evidence that the election was stolen, it occurred to me that we’re in a kind of repeat McCarthy era. Only this time, to borrow from that old-school Communist Karl Marx, history is repeating itself not as tragedy but as farce.
Take Sidney Powell, a former federal prosecutor who became a right-wing darling as the lawyer for Michael Flynn, Trump’s 24-day national-security adviser. Trump repeatedly touted her as a member of his elite legal team, a group nicknamed Strike Force.
Powell has hinted darkly that a state-of-the-art computer hacking program masterminded by the late Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez was used to hand the election to Biden, with the help of Cuba, George Soros, “likely” China and other “Communistic” forces. Powell subscribes to the view, pushed by pro-Trump lawyer Lin Wood, that the outgoing president actually got 70 percent of the popular vote and 400 Electoral College votes.
To Powell’s credit, she actually provided some “evidence” for this: a meandering affidavit from an anonymous whistleblower who begins his or her fevered meanderings, “I am an adult of sound mine.” No wonder Powell hasn’t released any more evidence.

When was the last Jonah was right about anything Trump?
Should read: When was the last time Jonah was right about anything Trump?
Years ago I used to read National Review. Now, I wouldn’t buy if you paid me. Goldberg, Rick Lowry are all Never Trumpers.
Communist plots to take over government and co-opt instiutions were once dismissed as paranoid kookery.
that was published in the NY post
Trump broke this TDS infected idiot years ago...he’s rambling here.
This CRAP was written by virulent Trump-hater Jonah Goldberg. Says it all...
Then he tries to equate Trump’s legal team’s efforts to illuminate the obvious, widespread 2020 election fraud to his false claim about McCarthy’s work. I am confident that, just like McCarthy, the claims of rampant vote fraud will be confirmed, though likely much more quickly than were McCarthy’s claims.
It takes a special kind of foolishness to write a column that is riddled top to bottom with error and falsehood, in which the author attacks others for allegedly making claims without evidence.
I think Goldberg’s Trump Derangement Syndrome has rotted his brain. He should be embarrassed by the childish garbage he has written.
Clowns like Jonah have no clue about the gravity of stealing one’s vote.
Funny thing is, Jonah derp. McCarthy wasn't lying and neither is Trump.
“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”
— Joseph Goebbels
In the current election - it seems that the Truth of a stolen election is so big and so widespread - it is difficult for people to believe.
Hey Jonah, go suck your thumb.
Joe McCarthy was RIGHT!
McCarthy is not a good example for the theives to use, we now know Joe was right.
Jonah has always been dem lite
So what? He’s still part of NRO
Jonah and his wail.
Jonah Goldbrick has always written childish drivel.
Who decided to give this fat slob a byline?
Joseph McCarthy was absolutely correct about the number of traitors in our government. Back then, there were hundreds of communist employed in Washington DC, now there are thousands.
Goldberg doesn’t know it yet, but he is finished, kaput, done.
