Question

What did McCarthy do first to get the public’s attention?

Answer 1

He claimed that he had the list of 205 communist spies who worked in the US government. McCarthy was the US senator who falsely propagated that many communist adherents had entered US and after it was proved that it was just a political stunt he was repealed from the senate.

McCarthy alleged that the Government of US is packed with many intimidators and spies who belonged to communist party and he alleged that he possessed the list of communist suspects who worked in various public departments of America. Many people dared to speak against him and this gained him much political power.  

Army tested the senators’ honesty and through investigations it was found that he showed some preferences to his close relatives in occupying the important political positions.
