Prejudice arises when a large number of people decide to believe and promote an incorrect and harmful concept about a group of people. Within this context, we can say that MacCarthy was not the only one to blame for the Red Scare of the 1950s.

We can arrive at this answer because:

  • Senator MacCarthy was one of those most responsible for the fear of communism, which occurred in a generalized way in the country in the 50s.
  • This dread was so intense, that this era is known as the Red Scare or era of McCarthyism.
  • Although Senator MacCarthy was the representative face of this moment, he was not the only one responsible for spreading this fear in society, as the American media and other politicians reinforced this idea.

MacCarthy promoted controversial speeches and spurred the indictment and punishment of people suspected of communism. These speeches were stimulated by the media, causing unjustified prejudice and a wave of oppression and unfounded accusations.

In addition to MacCarthy, other senators and politicians embraced this prejudiced concept against communism and encouraged laws, speeches, comments, and other activities that gave Red Scare strength. Some of these politicians were Richard M. Nixon, Karl E. Mundt, Patrick A. McCarran, among others.
