Summary

Wisconsin Senator Joseph McCarthy is considered by most to be a major villain in American political history for his role in the 'Red Scare' of the 1940s and 50s. But was he wrong? In this Make The Case episode, ATM examines the record to determine if McCarthy was all bluster and hype or if there was true in the accusations he was making in regards to a communist infiltration of America.
