By 1950, it seemed the junior Senator from Wisconsin, Joseph McCarthy, was doomed to leave behind an undistinguished tenure. But with one speech in Wheeling, West Virginia on February 9, he'd carve out his space in history. Claiming to have a list of 205 "known communists" in the State Department, McCarthy sparked a nationwide hysteria over subversive elements in the United States government. | American Experience | PBS

Senator Joseph McCarthy, the man who spearheaded the anti-communist witch hunts of the Red Scare, died from complications of alcoholism on this day in 1957. Despite making countless enemies and being censured by his colleagues two years prior, his three funerals—one at St. Matthews Cathedral, one on the floor of the Senate and one in his home town of Appleton, Wisconsin—were well attended. | American Experience | PBS
