Political Climate of the 1950's - Joseph McCarthy Interview

            I find this video very interesting. I never knew Joseph McCarthy was so self- absorbed, arrogant, and stupid. He was a senator from Wisconsin that accused people of being communists just so he felt like he had more power. This was just like the Salem Witch Trials. People were being accused of things they weren't just so others felt powerful. This video shows how he had absolutely no morals. He accused people without proof and put hundreds of people through a terrible situation. He claims he was just fighting communism and doesn't admit he did anything wrong at all. He is so full of himself which made, and still makes, many people angry.
