What was McCarthyism?
Was anyone able to stop McCarthy and the witch hunt?
Yes, eventually. The tide began to turn against McCarthyism in the late 1950s, as more and more people started to speak out against its excesses. The Army-McCarthy hearings in 1954, in which McCarthy was exposed as a bully and a liar, were a turning point. The Senate passed a resolution condemning his behavior in 1954, and by the end of the decade he had been censured by the Senate and largely discredited.
